👽 Alien: A Puppet Show
October 7 – 29, 2016
May 5 – June 3, 2023

Alien: A Puppet Show proved that in space—and on stage—no one can hear you scream... with laughter.

The All Puppet Players' puppet tribute to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror masterpiece debuted in 2016, and returned in 2023 bigger, bloodier, and even more unhinged.

We first launched Alien: A Puppet Show back in 2016 as a scrappy, felt-drenched tribute to Ridley Scott’s legendary sci-fi horror. Audiences lost their minds—and maybe a few bodily fluids—as our puppet crew of doomed spacefarers faced off against one of cinema’s most terrifying creatures: the Alien. In 2023, we brought the beast back bigger, bloodier, and more absurd than ever.

Featuring puppet chestbursters, full-size foam Aliens, and a badass puppet Ripley with no time for your nonsense, Alien: A Puppet Show blended sci-fi horror, comedy, and puppet madness into one unforgettable experience.

Performances ran in 2016 and again in 2023 at Playhouse on the Park, Phoenix—cementing Alien: A Puppet Show as a fan-favorite and a prime example of puppet sci-fi theater done wrong... in all the right ways.
