Here’s a sneak peek at Murder in the Abbey:

 

A Downton Abbey themed murder mystery full of aristocracy, scandal and…murder over dinner at the Grantham house.

 

Welcome to the world of Downton Abbey! A world full of aristocracy, old money but never anything as droll as murder! Congratulations! You’ve been invited to the dinner party held by the Earl of Grantham himself! Some would kill for the opportunity to meet the Crawley family.  They’ll all be there! The Earl, his beautiful wife and three daughters…not to mention all the other characters in (and around), the Grantham house.

 

That’s right! All the family, staff, and townsfolk will be there. You’ll meet lots of fun characters…and you’ll play as big, (or small), of a part as you wish. Up to you. Hope nothing bad happens…but if it does…we might need you to help us figure it out? Or perhaps you’re the killer?

 

Note: This show is intended for an adult audience with some suggestive humor.

 

$75 per person, plus tax—Harvest Club Member & 1 Guest: $70 per person, plus tax (includes dinner, show, wine paired with each course, and gratuity).

 

Advance prepaid, non-refundable reservations required by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 29.

Uplifting Puppet Parade Makes its Debut with “Fins and Feathers” Theme!
Oskaloosa, IA – Get ready to spread joy, make some noise, and show off your creativity! The Uplifting Puppet Parade is set to liven up downtown Oskaloosa on Saturday, June 14 at 2:00 PM as part of this year’s Art on the Square celebration. This vibrant event is made possible through generous support from the Iowa Arts Council, a grant from the Mahaska County Community Foundation (MCCF), and a network of community partnerships.

Beginning May 26, giant puppet projects will take shape under the artistic direction of Brant Bollman, Creative Director of Uplifting Puppet Co., and visiting artist Piper Smith, a Minneapolis-based puppeteer affiliated with BareBones Outdoor Puppetry and Performance Art Spectacular. Together, they will guide community members through the creation of large-scale puppets and visual elements for the parade.

Community workshops and events will be announced soon, inviting participants of all ages and skill levels to help build original puppets, costumes, and banners. This year’s magical theme, “Fins and Feathers,” celebrates the natural world—encouraging participants to craft imaginative representations of birds of the air and fish of the sea.

In addition, Take-it and Make-it Kits will be available for local organizations, youth groups, and families—complete with supplies to create your own parade accoutrements and join the joyful march.

Grab your noisemakers, bring your creative spirit, and march alongside musicians, puppeteers, and community members in a colorful explosion of creativity and connection!

More information about community workshops and kit pickups will be announced soon.

Follow Uplifting Puppet Co. or email upliftingpuppetco@gmail.com to get involved.

Let’s lift each other up—one puppet at a time. See you on the square!
