About the Show

Bill’s 44th is a comedic puppet show exploring impatience, loneliness, and time.

Bill’s 44th, where the stage is set for a hilariously chaotic celebration. Created and puppeteered by Dorothy James & Andy Manjuck, this original comedic show revolves around Bill, the nervously anticipating host awaiting his guests.

Through a myriad of puppetry styles, lively balloons, and even a mischievous crudité, the production delves deep into themes of impatience, loneliness, and the inexorable march of time.
