Event Details

Dirty Gerts is a delightful story of growing up in Vermont during the mid-1960s rendered in a groovy blend of historical fiction, 60s pop culture, and colorful confetti. Using paper pop-ups and old style paper dolls, PuppetKabob shows the challenges a young middle schooler, Carol Lee Bell, confronts about fitting in, creativity and acceptance.

Have you ever heard the phrase: “She thinks she’s Queen Elizabeth, but she’s Dirty Gerts to me!” No? Well now that you have, come and explore the story behind the saying in PuppetKabob’s latest pop-up creation “Dirty Gerts” – a show about growing pains. Made entirely out of re-purposed paper products!

PuppetKabob’s latest creation “Dirty Gerts” is a paper pop-up extravaganza! A groovy blend of historical fiction, 60s pop culture and colorful confetti! Come on get happy with middle schooler Carol Lee Bell – as she finds the fold to fitting in – and discovers the best way is to not actually fit at all!
