THE DEVIL & DAISY DIRT: A GARDEN STATE GOTHIC EVENT - Philly Premiere at PhilaMOCA

"Very weird and very Jersey! See it to believe it!" - Weird New Jersey

A bluegrass tall tale with live music and an 8' puppet. On the night of an annual appetite contest called "I 8 the Devil," Daisy Dirt finds something strange - winged and antlered, wounded but alive - in the dumpster behind Lucille's Luncheonette (aka the Devil's Diner). With the help of a Piney palm reader named Effie and a piece of magic muscle meat from the basement game locker, Daisy evades a villainous poacher named Tasty (Murder) and risks everything to save it. Think Pine Barrens “Our Town” meets cryptid E.T., with a shoulder-shot Jersey Devil instead of a stranded extraterrestrial, deer hunters instead of federal agents, and a portal that opens above the Apple Pie Hill fire tower after a midnight lightening strike instead of an alien mothership shaped like a Christmas tree ornament. All backed by a high lonesome sound.

"There is no one remotely like Alex Dawson in Gothic New Jersey or anywhere else. A riveting, one-of-a-kind storyteller." - Joyce Carol Oates, The Gravedigger's Daughter

"Fantastic!" - Brian and Wendy Froud, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth

"Amazing! Chucky would be jealous." - Tom Holland, Fright Night, Child's Play
