About

Felt Street

Every new episode on Felt Street is an opportunity to learn about two different adult topics! What were the topics of opening week? FUNERALS and MASTURBATION. Felt Street is a puppet show that is certainly NOT for kids. Felt Street returns this Saturday with new lessons, and we can't wait to see you! Photos: @brittneypaulactor

Tonight on Felt Street: public exhibitionism! Nobody closes their blinds on Felt Street, and that’s the way they like it. Way to climax, ladies!

Is it bad? That this puppet show isn't for kids? Felt Street is precious, but it's not for your precious gifts from above. It's for you. You, and your nasty, twisted, adult-oriented imagination. Like, we don't even mean sexually per se. We just mean you'd probably enjoy it if the local (adorable) flea-infested rat (puppet) hopped up on the trashcan to sing you a nice little song about a drug deal he inadvertently witnessed between the local florist and the train conductor. But they might have a puppet threesome onstage later. We don't know, and neither do you! Felt Street is an improvised adult puppet show made to tickle the adult's imagination and whimsy, and it's coming back to Dad's Garage on October 3. Photos: @sketchety.shots

Hey baby. We heard you like puppet shows. Puppet shows FOR ADULTS. 💖 Felt Street is a magical and cuddly experience - if you're twisted in the head. It's framed like a children's show complete with life lessons, neighborhood pals, and the kind of people that you know you probably shouldn't associate with (because one of them serves human flesh in her bodega), but are gonna have to associate with at some point during your adult life in order to fulfill some kind of personal life journey you'll need to take for some kind of self-actualization (lookin' at you, Olga.) Or maybe you shouldn't associate with them because another one of them murders people and sells their parts to the bodega! (That one's about you, Beatrice.) Grab your tickets and get ready to have some black comedy, parody-rific fun with all of your friends on Felt Street when it opens on October 3 and runs Saturdays through November 7!

There's a magical place where the sun's always shinin'... And it's for adults only. NO KIDS SHOULD VISIT FELT STREET. The twisted parody puppet special returns to Dad's Garage this October 3 with new characters, new lessons, and new absolutely-not-for-kids adventures with all your very best friends (and worst enemies - lookin' at you, DragonSaurus Rex) on Felt Street! Felt Street returns Saturdays in October and November, and all your pals can't wait to say hello! It's a little like Sesame Street, a little like Avenue Q, and, honestly, it's a little like SCANDAL!, but it's also none of those things. It's ineffable, and it's kinda really cute despite being pretty f*cked up most of the time. Grab your tickets and get ready to have some raunchy fun with all of your friends on FELT STREET!

Before you get angry about the holiday season creep, don’t forget—this means: New invaders. New surprises. New twists of fate in Scrooge's past, present, and yet-to-come! IXC returns to Atlanta's Dad's Garage on Black Friday for a new season of absolutely unpredictable holiday cheer.

The second episode of SCANDAL! The Bare season 2 overtook the stage with the same excitement as a stampede of rats barreling from the walls of a renovated chain restaurant—which was exactly the setup for tonight’s installment! The drama continues next week. See you at W.T.Fridays for the next one!

React Theatre officially opened its doors for its first Dad's Garage-produced show on Friday, and words can't express how excited we are to reopen its well-loved doors to a new chapter of performance opportunities and growth. Thank you to the community for your input, questions, and grace as we transition into a new future for this space. Pictured are a few shots of our first-look tour of the new React (home of Dad's Garage University!) immediately after the renovations were completed. To those who have only known the black box on Edgewood as React and to those who have loved the space and its creative spark since forever, thank you. Because of you, we can pursue our mission and expand our impact while inviting others to laugh with us along the way. Photos: @caseygardnerford with @breathe__images
