The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Detective LaGrasse is searching for a murderer. Francine Thurston’s uncle vanished. The only clue to both mysteries is a bizarre statue worshiped by a nightmarish cult. And it’s leading them out to sea, toward a mysterious island from their nightmares — and toward insanity. But, you know, with singing puppets.

Puppeteers for Fears, Oregon’s premier rock’n’roll puppet troupe, presents an original show that, in a sensible universe, would be impossible: a feature-length musical comedy adaptation of one of the least musical or comedic stories ever: H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror classic, The Call of Cthulhu — performed entirely with puppets, and a live band. See noir detectives, dancing tentacles, anarchist pirates, broken-hearted academics, sassy monsters, and more as they sing and dance to love, madness, and possibly the end of the world.

A rock’n’roll retelling of the horror classic “The Call of Cthulhu” performed entirely with puppets. 

Runtime: two hours+ with one intermission. Rated R for language and themes. Includes flashing lights.

Featuring live music from The Elephant.
