A group of retired friends is spreading joy and laughter with their unique and hilarious puppet show.

Kara Whitworth, Jackson Hannah, Alyson Whitworth, and Lukas Richmond take the stage, but instead of traditional puppets, it’s their own faces that are seen. Controlling their arms are their talented friends Cami Johnson, Camryn Garcia, Margaux Shutt, and Jocelyn Garcia. It’s a puppet show like no other—living puppets brought to life by real people.
