Strings Attached

Written by Charley Daveler and directed by Lacey Lukas, Strings Attached is an original puppet play in two acts that's part workplace comedy, part theatrical horror, and part love letter to every artist who's ever been told they're the problem. When struggling playwright Austen Gibson reluctantly joins the prestigious Proscenium Athenaeum, she discovers her old college nightmares never really died… they just got a bigger budget. A hilarious and heartfelt satire about ambition, belonging, and the cost of "the show must go on." No puppetry experience? No problem.
