We Wiggle Dolls: Sendoff Puppet Slam & Variety Show

At Wonderville, *We Wiggle Dolls: Sendoff Puppet Slam & Variety Show* stages a live puppet-and-variety bill with a rock/pop backbone and a clear invitation for younger audiences. The format favors short acts and quick shifts, treating puppetry as a performance language rather than a children’s novelty. No specific NYC premiere history is widely documented, but the show sits in a local tradition of downtown DIY spectacle and mixed-genre programming. Its sharpest insight is how easily a puppet can function like a bandmate, not a prop.
