About the Show
Imagine if you will that the Holiday Sing-Along got a little tipsy at the holiday party...! Join us for a cheeky "grown-ups edition" of our beloved Holiday Sing-Along — sip an adult beverage while enjoying this slightly saucy (but still PG-13) rendition of Sarah Nolen and Phil Berman's hilarious and touching puppet cabaret. Celebrate the season with holiday skits and schticks full of both wintertime cheer and heartwarming moments, featuring wintry vignettes from cultures around the world — and some good old fashioned sing-along moments!
Puppets at Night version, recommended for ages 16+
Mixed puppetry styles and live music

About the Artists
Sarah Nolen is a puppeteer and filmmaker originally from Austin, Texas. As Puppet Showplace Theater’s resident artist, she performs regularly for youth and family audiences and teaches puppetry in camps, workshops, residencies, and evening adult classes. Her three original productions, The Fairy Tailor, Judy Saves the Day, and Lisa the Wise, are all available to tour. Sarah recently designed puppets for Little Uprisings’s My Night in the Planetarium, Metropolitan Chorale's The Unicorn, the Gorgon, and the Manticore, and for Suffolk University's Loss of Breath: The Death and Life of Edgar Allan Poe. In addition to her work in puppetry, Sarah is an experienced filmmaker. In 2015, she received the Mister Rogers Memorial Scholarship in support of her television pilot Treeples, a show geared towards empowering girls, which screened at film festivals across the U.S. Sarah earned her BFA in film from Southern Methodist University, and an MFA in Puppet Arts from the University of Connecticut.
Phil Berman is a singer-songwriter, actor, and puppeteer with a BFA in Theater Arts from Boston University. He has performed in shows across the Boston area and the Northeast. He was a co-creator of Puppet Playtime at Puppet Showplace Theater and returns to the showplace with the Holiday Sing-Along every December. Phil has also played music for touring puppetry productions like The Bella Show, The Joshua Show, and What the Moon Saw. When not performing, Phil is a freelance music teacher and founder of Zibi Consulting Group, creating early childhood arts and culture curriculum for schools and daycare centers across New England.
