This will be the last show hosted by Junktown Duende in their month long residency at the Clemente Center. We’ll be back, but not for a little while. We highly recommend you catch this show. We pulled together all the best puppeteers and weirdos in the city for our final blowout! Come! Come! You won’t regret it!
