?PUPPETS ?MURDER ?HIJINKS?MAYHEM ? HILARITY !!Rasputins Marionettes is thrilled to partner with the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater in beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego for the California premiere of Sugarbitch Goulash, the smash hit show of the New Orleans Giant Puppet Festival in 2022 & 2024.
Sugarbitch Goulash is the fiendish story of Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt, the "Black Widow Murderers", an unlikely friendship with a macabre twist. Based on true accounts, Helen and Olga met in the mid 1980s in a woman's fitness center and formed a toxic bond that would carry them through 3 decades of petty crimes and cons, until their arrest on charges of mail fraud and an accidental confession of homicide caught on surveillance camera. Our story hilariously takes us through their nefarious acts and inevitable incarceration based on revelations during their 2007 Los Angeles trial. Join Helen and Olga through the years in this campy, comedic story, told with beautifully carved stringed puppets, hand puppets, and shadows by Rasputin's Marionettes, and witness the almost true story of murder, greed, and self gout. You might just die laughing!
Suggested for mature audiences.
Running time 1:40, in two acts with intermission
Imagine if you will, The Golden Girls meets Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, with a dash of Arsenic And Old Lace, performed with the caustic story telling of John Waters, and an all puppet cast, you'd begin to scratch the surface of this uniquely bizarre, incredibly true story, you won't wanna miss!
It's been a long time in the making, and we are excited to start bringing our hilarious show to venues as far as our net can cast. A huge thank you in advance to the Marie Hitchcock theater, and all of you San Diego theater goers with a taste for the bizarre, camp, macabre, offbeat humor that makes our show so unique.
