Our 2025 Puppet Cabaret is accepting submissions and we are turning up the heat. This slam is themed around sex positivity and we are casting a wide net. Whatever that means to you, bring it on: sex, sexuality, puberty, LGBTQ+, kink, poly, asexuality...

​

We want to know what you think about sex positivity. To support our theme we are partnering with LRA, Chicago’s oldest BDSM club, as a venue for this in-person event.  

The slam will be held on Sunday, September 14 with a tentative go time of 7pm CT and will tech during the day.

We are looking for live in-person performances, but are also accepting video submissions or live performances over Zoom.

Pieces should be 8 minutes or less. Please submit your application to us by Sunday, August 10th.

Thanks for submitting to Puppet Meltdown, we look forward to seeing your work!!!
