ACT I For 50 years Vaudeville reigned as theatrical king of popular American culture - until the Talking Picture Show forced its doors shut forever. But during its heyday, the names "Matty Rollins and his Amazing Talking Puppet Jimmy" graced marquees from coast to coast, leaving Matty's new bride and baby home alone, awaiting the final curtain to fall... "Augustine's foam rubber puppets transcend the innocent bounds of 'family entertainment' with an eerie, breathtaking profundity." SPEAK Magazine review ACT II Matty Rollins Jr. retools his father's once famous act for modern audiences. But Amazing Jimmy has aged into a hulking, cantankerous old puppet and wants out of the business. One fateful night, the past and present collide in a climatic knife-wielding showdown!

Brad Rosenstein-- San Francisco Bay Guardian review "Augustine's concise writing and energetic performance was truly powerful." NYBackstage
