What IS THIS??

Puppet Soap Opera is an Improvisational Comedy Web Series that follows five friends fresh out of college, trying to find their way in the world. They have their ups and downs, fall in love, suffer heartache, and have to learn to believe in themselves. Oh, and they're puppets.

The team behind Puppet Soap Opera is a set of incredible (and credible) Improv Artists, The Punctual Drunks, and all of the dialogue in the series is made-up on-the-spot.

Why a Soap Opera?

Why not? Puppets, especially our amazing cast, can convey a whole host of emotions, not unlike the sometimes wooden actors that make some of finest soap operas so much fun. We wanted to create something that was fun, emotional, and enjoyable.

What's Been Done, What Needs To Happen

We've already shot the pilot, invested in materials, and have planned out recording schedules for Season 1. In order to finance it, and to be able to pay our amazing Improv Artists, we need to show potential sponsors that there's an audience. 

In order to cover our costs of production, we know we can get a whole season out for $3,500. For a web series, that's pretty lean, and we have multiple budgets depending on how much money we are able to raise. The more we raise, the nicer the sets, the fancier the lighting, and the added potential to purchase more puppets for new characters.

What We Need From You

If you are able to contribute, of course that's amazing, and we have some cool rewards below to say thanks for your support. But we need your help in other ways too - We need Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ followers, fans, and circlers(?), and we need your help to spread the word so that we can show that there is enough interest in Puppet Soap Opera to warrant more episodes.

At the end of the day, support isn't just about money, it's about exposure. The absolute best thing you can do to help, is tell your friends about us, show our videos, and tell us what you think! 

Whether you donate or not, there are several things you can do to help:

1. Share this campaign - http://igg.me/at/puppetsoapopera

2. Follow Us on Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus

3. Share our videos to as many people as you can.

It might sound simple, but this stuff really helps.

We hope you enjoy!
