The Uncanny Attic is an absurdist dark comedy brought to life through puppetry, clowning, dance, live music, and a macabre fascination with death. Co-created and co-produced by Bazuka Joe and The Bunny Royale (Jennifer Friedrich), this twisted tale unfolds in a world where catastrophe strikes with unsettling regularity, and the youngest among us are constantly at risk.
The production features a stellar cast of rotating multidisciplinary performers, including co-creators Bazuka Joe (Poonie’s Cabaret, Newport Theater Camp) and Jennifer Friedrich (Incurable Theater, Redmoon Theater).
