Barebones Dumpster Duels
Puppeteers and trash connoisseurs compete in a 30 hour challenge to create a puppet show out of garbage to raise money for BareBones annual Halloween Extravaganza.
Dumpster Duels returns to the Twin Cities at House of Balls for another exciting dumpster-off. Three all-star teams of puppeteers and trash connoisseurs will complete this year; each creating amazing puppets shows in record time using only garbage.
Rain or shine, Dumpster Duels 2016 will kick-off on Saturday, July 30 at Noon and run for an astonishing thirty hours while teams create characters, stories, and puppets from garbage. The competition culminates with performances beginning on Sunday, July 31st at 6:00 PM. You are invited to come at any point in the process to watch the transformation of trash into wild and raucous puppet shows. Audience applause, along with heckling, bribery, and completely arbitrary rules will decide the winner.
Proceeds from the suggested donation of $10-$20 at the door will go toward the BareBones Puppets Annual Halloween Extravaganza. Special thanks to our esteemed sponsor, Vern's Dumpsters.
