SUMMARY:Bread &amp\; Puppet Theater's "Finished Waiting"
DESCRIPTION:What do we do and where do we go when we're finished waiting
 ? What transformations might be possible in our lives and in our politic
 s if we stopped waiting for them to change\, or for others to change fir
 st?\n\nBread &amp\; Puppet returns to Mayo Street Arts with Finished Wai
 ting\, a new show created this winter by B&amp\;P director\, Peter Schum
 ann and the storied Vermont troupe of puppeteers\, carpenters\, bus driv
 ers\, musicians\, dancers\, agitators\, and bread-bakers – many of who
 m do all of the above in the process of inventing Bread &amp\; Puppet's 
 aesthetically iconic and politically plainspoken shows and bringing them
  to audiences far and wide.\n\nFinished Waiting is a show for this momen
 t of political\, social\, ecological\, and epidemiological rupture and u
 ncertainty\, a moment in which many feel the seduction of a stance of wa
 iting: waiting for the pandemic to be over\, for better leaders to be el
 ected\, for actions to be taken by the powerful to respond to ecological
  catastrophe\, for families to be reunited or seemingly eternal wars to 
 end.\n\nIn Finished Waiting\, Bread &amp\; Puppet invites audiences thro
 ughout the Northeast to harken to practices of uprising and take heart f
 rom them – as we all participate in the satisfaction of another\, equa
 lly fundamental kind of waiting: the waiting for spring's arrival after 
 a long winter. With this show\, Bread &amp\; Puppet seems to call on us 
 to recognize how nature itself shows us what is possible – what can ar
 ise – when we abandon waiting and embrace transformation.\n\nAccording
  to Schumann\, the show will star "the clock and its customers\, skies\,
  cities\, mountains\, forward dancers\, backward dancers\, a stop office
 r\, and an eye divinity who teaches seeing to non-suspecting eyes."\n\nA
 fter the performance\, Bread &amp\; Puppet will serve its free sourdough
  rye bread with aioli\, and Bread &amp\; Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – 
 books\, posters\, postcards\, pamphlets\, and banners from the Bread &am
 p\; Puppet Press – will be for sale.
