ABOUT PUPPETEERS FOR FEARS
Puppeteers for Fears is an Oregon-based comedy troupe, specializing in original horror and science fiction rock ’n’ roll musicals performed with puppets. The company was founded as a one-night-only cabaret show for Halloween 2015, but was so popular that it kept going and never looked back. In the time since, PFF has written and performed a half-dozen original feature musicals covering everything from supernatural monsters to killer robots to lonely sasquatches, performed all over the US on six tours, and sold out venues nationwide with its innovative and hilarious combination of puppetry, video, and live music.
