The Rocky Horror Puppet Show: An Improvised Musical at Fallout Theater – Austin, TX

Celebrate this summer with Puppet Bucket & our newest show extravaganza, Rocky Horror Puppet Show! This show is an improvised musical that follows a goody two shoes small town couple who take a very wrong (or maybe perfectly right) turn and stumble into a bizarre, otherworldly cast of characters. With newly designed puppets, a cult classic horror flair, with singing and dancing, the show leans into the seductive absurdity of transformation, self identity, and giving into your deepest desires. Designed for those who appreciate camp, chaos, and cult-classic energy, Rocky Horror Puppet Bucket invites you to cheer, laugh, and maybe even question what’s pulling your strings.

Directed by Mac McDearmont, with core Puppet Bucket members Alyssa Gargoogian, LB Kovac, Kellen McMurry, Hendrik Matthysen, and Connor Molen. Guest starring Derek Sims, Becca Yuhas, Ellen Houlden, Grant Wilson, Jer Moran, and Maddie Cramer, with pianist Lisa Sperry, guitarist David Rosenbaum, and stage manager Cal Gonzalez. And, of course, a newly crafted never before seen ensemble of puppets!

In true Rocky Horror Picture Show fashion, pre-ordered ticket holders will receive an exclusive prop bag, so grab your tickets now! This show is recommended for audiences 18+.

Puppet Bucket is an award-nominated improvised puppetry troupe bringing bold, story-driven theatre to life, one puppet at a time. Rumored to have been a household name in the 1990s (and now proudly making our comeback), we combine old-fashioned puppet charm with quick witted, narrative improv. We were honored with a B. Iden Payne Award nomination in 2025 and an Austin Chronicle Best of Arts and Entertainment 2026 nomination, both celebrating our distinct voice in Austin’s theatre scene.
