Crankie Cabaret
A variety show of crankies, live music and assorted absurdities. Intended for an adult audience, this is the best-of from a 2 hour show we produce annually in Ithaca. Pieces will include a true story of a Russian immigrant childhood in Brooklyn, an absurd musical farce, a horror tale about humanoid pigs and a crankie made of fabric rolled between two human "cranks".
Lily Gershon, aka Lily Silly, is a puppeteer, puppet-builder, singer, and director of the non-profit Lilypad Puppet Theatre. She makes art from mostly reclaimed materials at her eco-homestead in Freeville, NY. Her theatre produces a monthly puppet series for families and an annual Crankie Cabaret.
