I was lucky enough to see Late Night with Ev and Puppets. However, if you have a puppet phobia steer clear but for all the rest, I recommend getting to this show! It makes you wonder what your dreams are about!

Ev Fitzgerald interacted with the audience and even stole the show from the puppets! I didn’t imagine I’d become one of the writers of the piece, but I was, and it was a pleasant surprise that made the audience even more happy to be at the show!  The mood shifted from joyful and comedic to mysterious and wondrous easily and was great fun to experience.  As EV and the puppets (Mermaid, a very rambunctious 12-year-old, and a bird) demonstrated each dream. Each character was very different, and each puppet seemed to come to life. You soon forget that they are puppets at all!  My disbelief was totally suspended, and my mind opened! Thanks to EV and the great talent of using puppets to get a message across.  I learned tons and I loved this show.  See EV when you can!
