“A Puppeteer with The Palsy Performs Scenes from Shakespeare or, the Ghost in the Machine”
Skerpro in association with Theatre Exile are thrilled to announce the world premiere production of A Puppeteer with the Palsy Performs Scenes from Shakespeare or, the Ghost in the Machine, by Cary Mazer, opening at Theatre Exile on Thursday August 7 and running through Sunday August 24, 2025.
The play follows a master puppeteer who, instead of his usual performance of his favorite scenes from Shakespeare with his troupe of inanimate thespians, shows us why and how he became a puppeteer.
The production is directed by Edward Sobel and stars renowned Philadelphia actor David Ingram as the Puppeteer and newcomer Sara Buscaglia as his Assistant.
Runs: Thurs-Sat at 8:00pm, Sunday at 3:00pm from August 7 – August 24, 2025
