Potpourri is a puppet festival tradition - a late night opportunity for festival attendees to perform their own puppet act in three minutes or less. The show careens back and forth between "The Gong Show" without the gong and "America's Got Talent" without the Hoff, Ozzy's wife, and that annoying English guy.

The 2009 National Festival will feature two nights of Potpourri: Wednesday and Friday.

Wednesday Night Potpourri

Performance slots for the Wednesday night Potpourri will be filled through an online sign-up process before the Festival.

To sign up, follow the instructions on this form. The deadline to sign up for the Wednesday night Potpourri is Friday, July 10.

We encourage those with elaborate, complicated, or irritatingly cumbersome sets or props to sign up for Wednesday night!

Friday Night Potpourri

You can sign up for Friday night's Potpourri beginning Tuesday, July 14, in the festival office.
