Bobbindoctrin presents Ant Sandwich, a new puppet play by Joel Orr. Puppets by Katie Jackson. At Midtown Arts Center, 3414 LaBranch, Houston TX. Opens Friday, June 12 and runs through Saturday, June 19.

Here are the ten things we can tell you about Ant Sandwich without actually describing the content. 1) It is a puppet show. 2) It’s about an hour long. 3) It takes place in another world. 4) It involves “denizens.” 5) Puppets are designed by Katie Jackson. 6) The content is not too brutal, though there is an instance of cannibalism. 7) Children thirteen and over will not be unduly traumatized. 8) Rod and shadow puppets are utilized to tell the story. 9) You’ve never seen anything like it. 10) It might have something to do with depression.

But if you REALLY need to know, if your decision to come see a puppet show must be informed, read the synopsis far below. But we encourage you not to. Just show up and take a ride.

Need more? Really? OK then:

In Ant Sandwich, denizens of an underground formicary slave away in crude laboratories to build a bounteous world they will never inhabit or enjoy. As they move towards more complex creations, their ineptitude becomes increasingly undeniable. They fail and fail again, these stupid beings, until their invasive and noxious creations threaten to engulf them and their very cause. But one creation might absolve them in a blaze of glory, blood and fur.
