PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS Introduces Audience Participation Segment, Show Hits The NY Int'l Fringe Fest Tonight 8/25

Performers, producers, and directors from far and wide have been relentlessly pounding the pavement in an effort to garner some attention for their New York International Fringe show, hoping to set themselves apart form the 150+ productions happening around town simultaneously. These shameless self promoters are upping their game and dropping their pants at Puppetry of the Penis. As part of Puppetry's "audience participation" segment the Fringe show representative will join the "professionals" Rich Binning and Chris Cannon on stage and present to the entire audience their best "hamburger," the signature installation at Puppetry of the Penis. After successfully presenting their "hamburger" to the audience of 200 people, the participants will be allowed to mention their Fringe show and distribute postcards to the masses. This fringe invasion will begin tonight (Tuesday, August 25) at 7PM at 45 Bleecker Street Theatre with more dates to come.

Puppetry of the Penis continues its run at 45 Bleecker through September 13th with its brand new All-American Puppeteering duo, Chris Cannon and Rich Binning. Requiring amazing concentration, astonishing stamina, an unbelievable stretch factor and a remarkable level of testicular fortitude, this show leaves women and men gasping at over 40 heroic and hilarious penis installations including the Pelican, The Windsurfer, The Eiffel Tower, Loch Ness Monster, and their signature installation, the Hamburger. Puppetry of the Penis was created in 1996 by Simon Morley and introduced the world to the ancient Australian art of genital origami. It has been experienced by over well-over 1 million people in over 14 countries, celebrities like Hugh Grant, Naomi Campbell, Posh Spice, Bono and Elton John have joined the crowds and witnessed the magic of Puppetry of the Penis.
