Join Bread & Puppet Theater for an urgently-needed new puppet show featuring our upside-down situation, a revolt orchestra, screaming choirs, and a reckoning with the catastrophe of logic. Of The End of the World Never Minding Show, director Peter Schumann tells us that, “The sitting mind realises the predicament of the rats, assigned to spread the plague which opens the gates of darkness as fears chase the populations across the face of the earth. Humanity’s humdrum is now outrageous and no longer composed of beloved details. The rats in charge of spreading the plague are ordered to repurpose human freedom and democracy into guns, bombs, and starvation. Our own futuristic Not-Yet is impatient and unready. We must take our cardboard provocations into the revolting streets of life, with help from our paper-maché divinities, to succeed and succeed.” ---- The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 by Peter Schumann on New York City’s Lower East Side. Besides rod-puppet and hand puppet shows for children, the concerns of the first productions were rents, rats, police, and other problems of the neighborhood. More complex theater pieces followed, in which sculpture, music, dance and language were equal partners. The puppets grew bigger and bigger. Annual presentations for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and Memorial Day often included children and adults from the community as participants. Many performances were done in the street. During the Vietnam War, Bread and puppet staged block-long processions and pageants involving hundreds of people. In 1974 Bread and Puppet moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The 140-year old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Our Domestic Resurrection Circus, a two day outdoor festival of puppetry shows, was presented annually through 1998. The company makes its income from touring new and old productions both on the American continent and abroad, and from sales of Bread and Puppet Press’ posters and publications. The traveling puppet shows range from tightly composed theater pieces presented by members of the company to extensive outdoor pageants which require the participation of many volunteers. Today, Bread and Puppet continues to be one of the oldest, nonprofit, political theatre companies in the country. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/bandp-in-portland-me-the-end-of-the-world-never-minding-show/200029625300706 - **Event Categories**: festivals, music, art, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 13 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101 - **lat**: 43.66279 - **long**: -70.25435 - **full address**: 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: B&P in Portland, ME: The End of the World Never Minding Show - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/153e2efd470d7447818b82bf729ac8318092e7d4b7d72e7339e7f03a10ab5dd0-rimg-w1200-h675-dc8fffec-gmir?v=1775429505 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is B&P in Portland, ME: The End of the World Never Minding Show being held? - **A:** B&P in Portland, ME: The End of the World Never Minding Show takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 03:30 pm to Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm at 10 Mayo St, Portland, ME, United States, Maine 04101. - **Q**: Who is organizing B&P in Portland, ME: The End of the World Never Minding Show? - **A:** B&P in Portland, ME: The End of the World Never Minding Show is organized by Mayo Street Arts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
