Welcome to the EE puppetropolis schedule website!

This site is a comprehensive schedule of EE's 18 performances.

NEWS: *come to the "under the Picasso" preview event to Puppetropolis with performances by Ben M, Laura Heit and Environmental Encroachment. Tuesday at Noon, 50 West Washington, take the "L"

OTHER PERFORMER's LINKS: Paul Zaloom

Two phases of EE's involvement:

1) STREET STAGES:
EE and nine other performance groups have been given by the city a puppet booth to do a show,
Obveeusly EE can't fit in the booth all at once, (well we fit in a VW) but will transform our booth into a space monolith puppet.
There will be an incredible space adventure, with sulphuric space worms, giant organic space plasmas that eat metal, Robots,
as well as unique forms of interstellar musical communications.
Our show will turn the booth into one of many puppets. Check ours and alls shows out! There are local legends as well as groups from:
Korea, England, France, Hollywood, New York and Vermont, and yours truly EE (hailing from Atlantis).

2) THE LATE NIGHT COMBUSTIBLE PUPPET CABARET:
Ben M. has curated what looks to be five unsane nights of puppets, shows, hilarity, and general entertainment nirvana.
EE will be the cabaret's band as well as parade marching band for post show frolics. Lots of local talent.
Prediction: Event of the year for Chicago.

Both schedules here show EE's involvement. If you wish to know the COMPLETE Street Stages schedule,
