[Paperhand Puppet <donovan AT paperhand.org>]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Paperhand is Thrilled to announce the opening of our new studio/theatre in 
saxapahaw, NC. after 2 big weeks of sold out shows in durham we are coming 
home. Please read below for details and directions. We are now officially 
celebrating our 10th year!
Paperhand Puppet Intervention
in collaboration with
Theatre of Performing Objects
presents...
"Hungry Ghost"
A shadowy tale of the insatiable human condition.

Weaving styles of puppetry together from masks & shadows to marionettes & 
bunraku, this colaborative work explores the hellish realms of these darkly mysterious 
beings. The Hungry Ghost is found in Buddhist traditions throughout Asia (and the world 
in myriad forms.)  Hungry Ghosts are the unfortunate souls of greedy or miserly people 
who then pay dearly and suffer greatly in the afterlife. Our tale is spun in ancient and 
modern times, inticing us all to contemplate our own desires & humanity.
Warning: This show is intended for mature audiences!
Which means... scary, strange and sexual content. You were warned.

Fri, sat and sun Jan. 30th to Feb 8th.

All shows will begin at 8pm.
tickets are $15 (suggested donation) and are available only at the door.
Noone will be turned away for lack of funds, but we do encourage you to 
support our work and the space we do it in.
So plan to arrive a little early to get a spot.
There is room for 200 people each night.
Parking is available behind, beside, and in front of the building with 
additional parhing at the
saxapahaw general store cafe.
The general store has a wonderful selection of local, organic, foods made 
with love by Chef Jeff Barney and the crew there.
So you can now plan an entire evening around the 20 minute drive from carrboro to 
the hot bed of roots & culture that is saxapahaw.
