Have you ever heard the phrase: “She thinks she’s Queen Elizabeth, but she’s Dirty Gerts to me!” No? Well now that you have, come and explore the story behind the saying in PuppetKabob’s latest pop-up creation “Dirty Gerts” – a show about growing up pains; made entirely out of re-purposed paper products.
PuppetKabob’s latest creation “Dirty Gerts” is a paper pop-up extravaganza. A groovy blend of historical fiction, 60s pop culture and colorful confetti. Come and get happy with middle schooler Carol Lee Bell – as she finds the fold to fitting in – and discovers the best way is not to actually fit in at all.
Sarah Frechette, founder of PupptKabob, is a graduate of the University of Connecticut’s Puppetry Arts Program. She studied marionettes in Germany with legendary Master Puppeteer Albrecht Roser and has performed across the U.S., Canada, Germany, Austria, France and China.
