Another great show, and another sold out audience! If you want to see "Crack!", there are just 2 more shows -- AND THAT IS IT! And from the way tickets have been selling, it looks like you should get your tickets in advance.

Friday will be with the incomparable LB DEYO!! and Saturday will be with the lovely SHANA MERLIN! Both shows should be killer.

ALSO! Saturday's show is followed by a special FAREWELL show to Mike Joplin that will include Get Up and then a bunch of awesome people. So Saturday will DEFINITELY be an awesome night at SVT and you should get your tickets in advance if you want to be a part of all that.

AND THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the awesome puppeteering and improvising that happened last night!!!

BIG thanks to John Ratliff, Pat Daniel, Lisa Jackson, Emily Breedlove, Clay Towery, Jesse Overright, Asaf Ronen, Peter Rogers and Howard Katz!! Also thanks to Jason Laney (keyboard), Topping Haggerty (tech) and Britney Salyer (stage mngr) -- You guys made this show awesome!!! Aaah-rooooo!

LB Deyo (Friday, Aug. 20th) is a man without qualifications. And yet we asked him to do this show and he agreed.

Fun Fact - LB is the co-author of book, The Invisible Frontier -- a collection of stories from his magazine, "Jinx: The Magazine of Global Urban Adventure" which he created when he lived in NYC. He now lives here in Austin as a writer, editor, creative thinker, and entertainer.

Check out his monthly debate and lecture show, The Dionysium , at the Alamo Drafthouse.

The rehearsal with LB Deyo went swimmingly. His show is THIS FRIDAY.

After the rehearsal, Peter Rogers said, "I PREDICT THAT PUPPET INTELLECTUAL SALON WITH LB DEYO WILL BE EPIC".

This will be a totally UNIQUE show, so get your tickets while you still can!!!

Last chance to see this show in it's full 2-act glory!! Though I love this show, and I hope to bring it back soon, this may actually be the last chance (for a while) to see the complete show. So as our finale, we have lined-up a super cast and guest star...
