Just what will Vanessa and Evan put together for this year's late night puppet salons? Well, for starters, they have added David Higgins and Nicole Leduc as co-curators and are likely to get into much more puppet-inspired mayhem

Late Night Puppet Salon begins New Season of Puppet Shows for Grown-Ups
Providence- Since the day Blood from a Turnip began in February of 1997, BfaT, as the salon is affectionately called, has offered professional puppeteers and those new to the art form an opportunity to present big stories, in miniature. Co-curated and hosted by Vanessa Gilbert (Perishable Theatre), David Higgins (BarPlays Festival) and Boston-based video ventriloquist Evan O’Television, BfaT continues to redefine itself, but refuses to grow up.
What to Expect: a BfaT audience sees 4 to 5 short-form puppet shows interspersed with Charming and Personable Musical Interludes provided by musicians from around the region. Artists from far afield as well as next door have entertained BfaT audiences over its history, making the event one of the founders of what is now known as the Puppet Slam Network. For the September edition, BfaT focuses on homegrown artists, featuring puppeteers and musicians who live and work locally.
BfaT is part of Perishable Theatre Late Night
What- Blood from a Turnip, RI’s ONLY late night puppet salon.
