Pointless Theatre premieres puppet spectacles

Pointless Theatre, a D.C. company founded by UMD School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) alumni, blends puppetry, theatre, dance, live music and visual art to create unique onstage spectacles for adult audiences.

From October 9 to October 13, Pointless Theatre was in residence at Joe’s Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier to rehearse for and polish their performances for a showing that Saturday, October 11 at 7PM. Pointless Theatre performed two original twenty-minute pieces, Famous Birds and Nom-noms, followed by a conversation that allowed audience members to share their thoughts and feelings about the work.

“This residency has allowed us to reinvest in our company members, build skills they haven’t had before, and give them the opportunity to flex their directing muscles or design muscles in a low-risk environment,” said TDPS alumnus Scott Whalen, a performer and co-director of communications for Pointless Theatre.
