In 2024 Bill celebrated his birthday 50 times! He had a sold out shindig with @underbellyedinburgh during the @edfringe where he was awarded a Seoul Arts Award (for partying, obviously) from @korean_season
He danced his butt off at the wonderful @nyspuppetfestival and had a stellar jamboree in NYC @herearts
Bill is still celebrating! Can’t wait to see you on the road this year! Better late than never!
“There are shows so delightfully unexpected that you hesitate, when writing about them, to give anything away. “Bill’s 44th” is one of those.” — The New York Times
Don’t miss out when “Bill’s 44th” travels to Fairfield University’s Quick Center for shows on Friday, January 30 and Saturday, January 31.
Originally conceived in 2016 as a five-minute puppet slam piece, Dorothy James and Andy Manjuk revived their project, performing at the New York State Puppet Festival.
In the summer of 2024, the show debuted at the lauded Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where is was described as “nothing short of genius.” A complex, funny yet moving meditation on aging and loneliness, this is one birthday party that is not to be missed!
I’m back in my favorite city in the world for only 5 performances this weekend, 1/9-1/11!
Tickets are limited but more will be released so come on by @herearts and celebrate with me!
Ticket link in bio.
