Last night I had the incredible experience of attending “An Evening with Mr. Vernon Watercress” at Teatro Sea in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. This captivating puppet show showcased the artistry and storytelling that make NYC’s underground performance scene so special.
Produced and Introduced by Brendan Schweda ‘Puppets Come Home‘
Mr. Vernon Watercress introduced by Nate Puppets at the beginning of the show.
After the performance, I sat down with Nate Puppets to discuss his fascinating journey in the world of puppetry. From his early influences to his creative process, we explored the rich history and techniques behind this timeless art form.
Featuring: Nate Puppets
Location: Teatro Sea,
Lower East Side, NYC
Part of my ongoing documentation of America’s vibrant performing arts culture. This is precisely the kind of indigenous entertainment tradition I’m passionate about preserving and celebrating – where intimate storytelling meets masterful craft in NYC’s most authentic venues.
