POSTPONED FROM APRIL 14: That Golden Girls Show! A Puppet Parody

Presented by Butler Arts Center at Schrott Center for the Arts, Butler Arts Center

That Golden Girls Show!’ is a brand-new show that parodies classic Golden Girls moments – with puppets!

Get set for an evening of cheesecake, laughter, jazzercise, shoulder pads, sex, and the elegant art of the quick-witted put down. From Sophia’s get-rich-quick schemes, to Rose’s tales from St Olaf, Blanche’s insatiable hunt for men and the Fountain of Youth, and Dorothy’s daily struggle to make sense of her life. Devoted fans will fondly remember our four girls from Miami, and for the firsttimers, this will be a joyful introduction to the brilliance of that television series.
