KAMIKAZE KAFKA is a PUNCH puppet slam special event and party for Drama of Works's new piece "puppet KafKa."

Dramaton Theater (Ken Berman and Frankie Cordero), Howie Leifer, Patryk Wilinski, Molly Kohl, Melissa Riker, Tony Scelsi, Olivia Hibel and Katy Laguzza tackle VERY different versions of some of Kafka's greatest works, including "The Metamorphosis" and "The Hunger Artist" with toy theater, stop-motion animation, hand puppets, marionettes and dance. At the pre- and post-party, enjoy Kafkaesque games, raffles and a delicious buggy bake sale. DJ Gretchen spins the most awesome dance tunes and, as always, Galapagos's fabulous and reasonably-priced libations flow freely all night long!

ALSO, it is Drama of Works's 10-year anniversary, so every party in 2009 is extra special! Come out - you won't regret, I promise you!!!
