Here we have a man who came to the White House inappropriately dressed in the middle of a war.

REVIEW: Wakka Wakka's “Dead as a Dodo” Futuristically original yet deeply historic, we feel this hero’s journey in our bones

HEY, NEW YORKERS! - make sure to bring your kids to see some lovely Norwegian visual theatrical imagination, Wakka Wakka. There is nothing like the art of puppet theatre. Last time I saw them was at the Fjaler-festival, in Norway. #TheatreSky
