Growing Up Linda

Growing Up Linda was an ensemble actor-puppetry performance in which a woman who believes she’s the daughter of a famous ice cream mogul must come to terms with her troubled past.  

SYNOPSIS

A giggly grinning ice cream cake flies Linda off to Planet Birthday, where she is briefly happy and loved. Moments later, Linda stares in horror as a piece of her new friend is cut and served to her on a plate. Its sugary severed mouth hisses up at her, “You let them kill me!” So begins fictitious ice cream heiress Linda Carvel’s long troubled relationship with food, as told in a psychedelic puppet fantasia by Marsian De Lellis.  (More)
