The Irvine Barclay Theatre will present the West Coast premiere of the adult-oriented puppet show, Stuffed and Unstrung, December 29-January 2.


Created by award-winning director, producer, and writer Brian Henson and actor and improvisational guru Patrick Bristow and featuring The Jim Henson Company’s renowned puppeteers, this one-of-a-kind comedy features expert puppeteers creating twisted scenes and songs on the fly, as suggestions from the audience prompt the improvised storylines unfolding on stage.


This production delivers “two shows in one” as the puppet action is projected live on large screens flanking the stage, while the puppeteers race around below – displaying their skills in full view of the audience. Bristow will host the performance, which features live musical accompaniment.
