# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Punch and Judy, Live at the Civic!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Punch and Judy are traveling all the way to Hardwick for two shows— May 16 & 17!

It’s Saturday morning cartoons, but better! A live puppet show, entertaining for all ages (plus snacks, treats & prizes!)

Allow Mr. Punch to remove your bad mood, in this absurdist delight for four out of the five senses. Watch as Judy tames unruly plumbing while avoiding the jaws of the carnivore du jour! And, feast your eyes upon the diaper change that should not be! It’s a melodrama of epically small proportions, and it’s so funny that you’ll forget to take out your phone for at least the first half-hour. It’s a low-tech old-time spectacle, as entertaining to the masses of today as it was three hundred years ago.

The hand puppets are created from up-cycled designer trash and performed in an eccentric itinerant puppet stage. The show is hosted per tradition by a “bottler,” the uku-lady Rose Friedman.  Justin Lander—showman of the absurd—portrays all the characters.

The program is rounded out with live music played on a variety of instruments, from the cornet to the bicycle pump.

Saturday May 16 & Sunday May 17 at 1.
Tickets are $10 and available in person at the Civic Standard, 39 South Main St., and at the door.
