  3. Flipside: Bill's 44th


“…buoyant, mesmerizing, joy-inducing…”
– New York Times

“This isn’t the birthday that Bill had hoped to have. But for the audience, his 44th is a gift.”
– New York Times


“A celebration of life, memory and the passage of time, brilliantly executed and truly unforgettable.”
– One4Review 

“Manjuck and James have created a show that evolves from this gentle comedy, with its absurdist elements, to this touchingly heartfelt reflective piece about [loneliness] and truly finding yourself and loving that person you discover.”
– The New Current

The streamers are hung, the punch has been spiked, and the cake is just begging to be eaten! Now, all Bill has to do is wait for his guests to arrive.

Created and puppeteered by Dorothy James and Andy Manjuck, Bill’s 44th is a non-verbal, comedic puppet show for adults performed with an original score, centered on one very worried leading man, Bill. Many styles of puppetry, raucous balloons, and a cheeky piece of crudité all collide to examine the pitfalls of impatience, the wonder of loneliness, and the universal passage of time.

Ages: 16 and above.
