🐸 Creature From the Black Lagoon
October 1 – 30, 2021

In our glorious return from COVID exile, the All Puppet Players dove headfirst into murky, monster-infested waters with Creature From the Black Lagoon—a hilariously horrifying homage to the 1954 Universal monster classic.

APP dragged audiences deep into a foam-and-felt Amazon jungle to meet a scaly monster with boundary issues. Scientists braved the waters, puppets got chomped, and the fourth wall barely survived.

With pop-culture madness, slapstick horror, and puppet anarchy, Creature From the Black Lagoon brought classic monster terror back to life—only somehow much, much funnier.

The show ran throughout October 2021 at Playhouse on the Park in Phoenix, helping re-launch APP's chaotic reign of live theater mayhem. A monster mash-up of laughs, latex, and lagoon slime that reminded the world live theater isn’t dead—it's just been hiding in the weeds.

(Spoiler: No actual lagoon monsters were harmed. But we did break some lights)
