Puppeteers for Fears, the world’s premiere all-puppet horror and science fiction musical comedy troupe, presents a terrifying and hilarious new work: ROBOPOCALYPSE: The Musical!, a rollicking cyberpunk escapade exploring the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence on a world still struggling to remember our email logins.

--------

News flash! City name and date! The near future! New developments in artificial intelligence have gone… not as planned. And now the robots are taking over—unless plucky teen hacker, Jolie Daniels, screen-name Ha.G., and the bot she made from spare parts from her parent’s garage, can stop the armies of sentient appliances she accidentally loosed on the world.

From Puppeteers for Fears, the company that brought you Cthulhu: the Musical!, and The Cabaret at the End of the World, comes a hilarious cyberpunk fever-dream: ROBOPOCALYPSE: The Musical!

Featuring thirteen new songs, an analog synthesizer driven score, an all-puppet cast, more multimedia elements than you can shake a stick at, and a wickedly stylish 1980s visual aesthetic, ROBOPOCALYPSE: The Musical! is Puppeteers for Fears’ most ambitious show ever, and is sure to dazzle and astonish.

Written and composed by Josh Gross. Directed by Hunter Prutch. Starring Alyssa Marie Mathews, Forest Gilpin, Hunter Prutch, Alex Giorgi, Raz Mostaghimi, and Brianca Knight; and featuring special musical guest, Blunderbusst.
