Moondog Madrigal Puppet Show

An Exciting Event interweaves the late Louis “Moondog” Hardin’s catchy and complex madrigal rounds with their own dazzling menagerie of musical instruments and rowdy crew of recycled-garbage puppets to tell a story of love, education, and a Giant Earthworm. Who is Moondog, anyway? An Exciting Event performed this show for three sold-out all-ages audiences at performances in 2010 and 2011 at the  Charlestown Working Theater in Boston. The premiere performance of the full-length show was on Friday, May 29th at the San Francisco Community Music Center.  A performance of the Moondog Madrigal Mini-Puppet Show Teaser was presented at the Moondog Rising Festival in Nov. 2007, where An Exciting Event was joined by Stefan Lakatos, lone heir to Moondog's invented percussion instrument: the trimba.
