A Bluegrass tall tale about the Jersey Devil.
"Awesome. Amazing. Goth. Fun. [With] really great live music. The Jersey Devil puppet will absolutely blow your mind. I’m talking George Lucas first Star Wars level of special effects. Incredible, incredible, like larger than life. I would definitely check this out." New Jersey is the World
"A singular achievement that seamlessly draws together elements that, on paper, feel unlikely – bluegrass and puppetry, horror and honky tonk, diner culture and the dark fantastic – but onstage, delivered in Alex Dawson's mesmerizing performance as raconteur, ringmaster, and resident hellbilly, combine to create a tale of adventure, playful horror and unexpected pathos, a meditation on loneliness, compassion, and empowerment. Wildly inventive staging creates a rich and textured world. We journey from the dumpsters of a diner, through a grotesque counter-side eating contest, down a country highway, and eventually into the wilderness, all within the confines of an intimate space no bigger than a bedroom. It's a feat of imagination, a fever dream, a nightmare, and totally unmissable." - Sophie White, Shirley Jackson Award winning author of Where I End.
"2024 saw the debut performance of what surely must be one of the most original, Jersey-centric and downright weird presentations in our state's theatrical history. Very WEIRD. Very JERSEY. Our kind of show. See it to believe it!" Weird New Jersey
