"The Baffo Box Show" by Modern Times Theater

“The Baffo Box Show” by Modern Times Theater

Two slapstick chaps keep the sun, moon, and everything else running on schedule, while juggling and dancing their way through the day’s chores. This delightful show riffs on the Punch and Judy tradition and vaudeville comedy!

Performed in a one-of-a-kind wearable stage, this show packs classic hand puppetry, colorful scenery, and stand-up comedy into a cardboard box and delivers it live on stage!

Meet the Baffos — two slapstick chaps who keep the sun, moon, and everything else running on schedule. From the moment the lid opens, audiences are captivated as the Baffos juggle and dance their way through the day’s chores, despite the undeniable evidence that their world is changing.

A daring work of puppetry and object manipulation, full of vintage vibes, junk music sonatas, and Modern Times Theater’s unique brand of all-ages comedy.

Recommended for ages 5+
