Sasha McNeal, one of the show's writers and puppeteers, admits that
it takes a twisted mind to dream up the idea of performing
“Showgirls” with sock puppets, let alone pull it off. But once the
idea had been broached, the group couldn't ignore its comedic
potential. “I think that as actors we find it amusing because (the
movie) is just so bad,” she says. “And you can get away with so
much more with sock puppets. If it were just ourselves redoing
'Showgirls,' no one would care.”
Gotta
see it to believe it
Showgirls.
Sock puppets.
I'm sorry, I just can't wrap my brain around the concept.
Too bad it's only showing in Chicago.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
