About

Belching forth from the glorified backwater village of Portland, OR, Happy Accident’s work explores the exponential pace of overwhelming absurdity in our world. Found objects, large scale puppets, and sputtering lights bring you face to face with the cuddly nightmare that is everyday life. Colorfully reimagining Saturday mornings spent drooling over piles of synthetic crap in front of the TV, Happy Accident revels in naked, antipathetic americana. You will probably laugh, you might cry, and like other designer drugs, you will want more within minutes. Ultimately you will ask yourself, “What kind of culture would produce something like this?”

Laugh and cry with this reimagining sunday morning cartoons

Doors at 7:00, show at 7:30. This performance is recommended for ages 12 and up.

liz HOWLS is a versatile artist whose talents span puppetry, visual arts, animation, illustration, and beyond. Known for her unique approach to puppetry, liz’s work is a poetic fusion of the traditional and the surreal. Her performances are a mix of childlike wonder and dark, fantastical elements that keep audiences captivated long after the curtain falls. In recent years, liz has shifted toward the avant-garde, infusing puppetry with unsettling sounds and imagery that challenge the viewer.
