You’re in luck! The amazing puppetry duo Happy Accident is back at monca for a special day full of magic and imagination on Friday the 13th this March! Join master puppeteer liz HOWLS and musician and artist Drew Simpson for a puppetry exploration workshop and stay for a one-of-a-kind live performance afterward.

From 2-5PM, join liz and Drew for a workshop about the creative process. Explore the elements of  sound, light and movement to understand how symbolism can viscerally affect an audience. View many short video clips covering the art of object performance work and enjoy live demonstrations. Then, in small groups, all participants will create their own short piece and present the results to their peers. 

Following the workshop, from 7-9PM, get your friends together for a legendary live puppetry performance! The show, Everything is Nothing, takes you on a trip through the dark alleys of modern life. liz and Drew dive into our fractured collective psyche through the lens of multi-level marketing, health and wellness culture, Mad About You, relentless pharmaceutical commercials and abhorrent technological “advancements” to create a surreal garbage world full of glitches, easy listening, and flat, functional lighting. It’s like a trip to the dentist without all of the annoying paperwork and anesthesia.

Everything is fun. Everything is fabulous. Everything is what you want, when you want it.

Workshop Ticket: $35

Performance Ticket: $25

Workshop & Performance Combo Ticket: $50

Happy Accident is the collaborative absurdist performance work of puppeteer/visual artist liz HOWLS and musician/lighting designer Drew Simpson. They have been building and performing together since early 2024. They find most of their inspiration digging through bins full of refuse, spending late nights binge-watching horrible sitcoms, and trying to figure out how everything ended up this way. While most of their performances are based around puppetry and sound, they also incorporate mask work and elements of what is often referred to as “performance art.”
