    I read The Peculiar Puppets of Philip Platt, so I wanted to read the sequel. I found this one even more touching! Knowing the backstory of Penny's dad, Philip, made this play even more special. I love how the puppets made such a difference for both the dad and the daughter, and that the daughter was named after Philip's lost love. The threads between these two plays are really lovely and shows how tragedy impacts us for the rest of our lives -- sometimes in good ways. I loved both plays!

    What a magical show. It's funny, touching, with some great parts for both humans and puppets. As a former puppet performer I can say that this show would be a dream if I was looking to produce a live event directed to the Gen Xers and Millennials who grew up on the Muppet Show and Sesame Street. So good.

    I was a professional puppeteer for over twenty years. Something that has always astonished me was the sheer warmth and love so many puppeteers have for the art, the audience, and each other. Nice to see characters like Ace and Loopy keeping it real.
