On Saturday, September 25 Bob Wolk (Banjo Bob) joins Alexis smith of the Bread and Puppet at Camp Meade in Middlesex for an afternoon and early evening double-header. Gates open at 3:00 p.m. for the event. Alexis and Banjo Bob will be performing on the green while people are perusing two exhibits, checking out a Cheap Art sale, enjoying Bread and Puppets bread and aioli along with libations and refreshments offered at Camp Meade Summer Shack, Red Hen Bakery Café and the Filling Station restaurant. The Bread and Puppet Bad Bedsheet Philosophy & Existibility Show breathes new life into discarded old bed sheets. Troupe founder Peter Schumann uses cast off, landfill-bound textiles to create several series of king-sized painted Handouts & Mitigations - paradoxical, sometimes dream-like reflections on current global political crises and their possible transcendence. In addition to a short performance of Schumanns Bedsheet Cantastoria - this exhibit features 11 of his recent paintings in honor of the life of the late Elka Schumann, whose personal and artistic partnership with her husband was a guiding force of Bread and Puppet Theater for over 60 years. Banjo Bobs New Migration Sideshow - American Success Story features mannequins attired in the clothing abandoned by immigrants that he finds in Arizona where he lives 1.5 miles from the border. When he was describing this show to me he said he goes out and walks around in the desert and finds clothes that immigrants left behind. He starts his show, making a joke about immigrant fashions and style, and ends up somewhere else., explained Russ Bennett, one of the partners in Planetary Matters which owns Camp Meade. He played this as part of several Bread and Puppet events this summer and people found it very moving, Bennett added. Bread & Puppets themes about social justice are a good match for the philosophy of Bennett, Alan Newman and Mike Pelchar, the three owners of Planetary Matters which owns Camp Meade. Peter Schumann/Bread and Puppets work always touches on the broader societal and topical currents in our society...is always relevant and offers an excellent perspective on where we are and where we might go, Bennett explained. He said he and his partners are striving to build community at Camp Meade, to provide a privately-owned public space for gathering, for theater, for music, for food and for fellowship and more. Our core values align, Russ Bennett, veteran Puppeteer himself said of Bread & Puppet. Were about strengthening community and supporting businesses that are creating products in ways that respect the planet and each other. The show runs until 6:00 p.m. Admission is by donation. Those interested in volunteering to be in the show or help out with the exhibit contact Alexis Smith: [email protected]

The most moving and revolutionary museum Ive been to in a long time. It is an inspiration for artists, activists, and all around trying-to-find-my-way folks. Highly recommend!
