You didn't think we'd forgotten about the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe, did you?

We miss Mum Puppettheatre terribly, so we're thrilled that puppetry is still alive and well in Philadelphia.

Need some variety in your life? Melange Variety Cabaret...On The Fringe is the ticket for you. It features belly dancing, music (R&B, blues, jazz, indie), clowning, puppetry, electronic music gadgetry... and, well, basically it's a cabaret! The remaining three shows promise to be lively and unlike any other show in Fringe. Which, considering the craziness variety that is Fringe, is certainly saying something. The full lineup can be seen here. Catch them tonight, Friday, and Saturday; tickets for the weekend can be had online, but for tonight you'll need to get 'em at the door. If you go to one show, you can get tickets to another for half-off. More puppets for you!

We love puppets. We really love puppets. In fact, the only thing that we may love more than puppets is pasta. So how happy are we that we’ll be able to combine both of our loves this weekend when Great Small Works rolls into town, bringing their famous Spaghetti Dinner/Toy Theater evening to the Rotunda. Puppet Uprising hosts the New York natives for two shows, Friday and Saturday night at 7:30PM.

From art and live music to puppetry and comedy, immerse yourself in the local flavor. Come for the outdoor art gallery and poetry, stay for acts like Drake and Philadelphia Slick. All proceeds from the vendors help to support Penn Future, an environmental advocacy non-profit agency.

To state the obvious: Spiral Q Puppet Theater is a Philadelphia institution. Combining social activism with larger-than-life puppetry has made the organization a neighborhood favorite in, well, many neighborhoods in the city, seeing as how their folks partner with the community to put on fantastic parades and pageants.
