New Orleans based artist Melissa Orzolek, aka Abandoned Ships, presents a puppet entertainment at LA House of Props on Fri, Aug 8. Shows are at 8 pm and 10 pm. She toiled with cardboard, glue and paint with SRAC guest artist Wayne White, notes Kathryn Usher, and is part of the Arthur Mintz (Fantastic Mr Fox in Shreveport and New Orleans) film crew.

It is entitled What Keeps Us and is an "exploration of the neighborhood," which you can see her in rudimentary map. The performance site is a warehouse behind 2134 Kings Hwy.
