In the interest of trying new things in 2021, HOOLIGAN Theatre Company is premiering its first ever digital puppet show, I Want My Mummy!, for one night only on February 27th at 8 PM PST on ShowTix4U!

I Want My Mummy! follows the story of Baroness Frankenstein, who has opened up her castle to the monsters of the world that are having trouble fitting in with society. However, the wealthy landlord who sends her money for staff arrives, causing these wacky characters (including the Mummy, a Phantom Bride, Medusa, Vampira, and the Invisible Man) to dress up as servants in order to struggle to maintain the facade.
​

To get you all in the spooky spirit, we’ve reached out to some of the cast and crew involved to get you the inside scoop!

Have you ever been part of a puppet show before? If not, how has the process compared to your initial expectations?

"I have never been a part of a puppet show before! I had high expectations and the cast, crew, and creative team have exceeded them wildly. Everyone is so innovative with every aspect of the production, from voices to blocking to making the puppets themselves!" - Dana Tankenbaum (Mummy and Pauline) 4th Year Global Studies Major and Film Minor




What did you enjoy most about the puppet-making process?

"I loved getting to explore the art of puppetry with this particular design of puppet. Being able to choose which materials would fully capture each character was a lot of fun."
​-
​ Lucy Wirtz (Stage Manager, Igor and Ted) 3rd Year Theater Major and Education Minor
What has been your favorite part of being in the puppet show?

"My favorite part has been our rehearsals and working with the cast and creative team. Since our cast is only six people and everyone is doing multiple things in the show (either playing multiple characters or being part of creative, cast, and crew) our rehearsals are pretty intimate. Also because the show itself is so funny and ridiculous we are all laughing and having a great time. I have had a wonderful time going through this process with these guys and I think that will reflect in the performance as well. I just hope the audience enjoys the show as much as we did." - Kriti Goyal (Vampira, Medusa, and Phantom Bride) 4th Year Psychobiology Major and Theater Minor
What was unexpected about the puppet-making process?

"
I was most surprised by just how many pieces it takes to make a puppet and how much detail you can put into them. By the time I finished I was shocked by how many new skills I acquired throughout the process and how fun it was to see them put together. It was a huge task but I would absolutely do it again!" - Emily Allendorf (Puppet Maker) 4th Year Statistics and Political Science Double Major
We’re so excited for you to see all the hard work our cast and crew have put into this show this Saturday (2/27) at 8 PM PST. Make sure to sign up on ShowTix4U prior to the show so you can access the livestream!
