It is a dark and stormy night and veteran detective Jack Russell is murdered at his own retirement party. Among those in attendance: his amphibian butler, a no-nonsense police inspector, his aquatic archenemy, an incomprehensible chef, a reanimated corpse, and... ... 8th President Martin Van Buren? Using nothing but their wits, ragdoll physics, and just a bit of audience participation, it is up to this eclectic band of familiar but legally distinct puppets to figure out which one of them is a killer before they strike again.

Cannonball is the largest hub of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, championing a revolutionary artist-led model that prioritizes equity, experimentation, and community connection. Now in its sixth year, Cannonball presents more than 100 artists across five stages, representing nearly 30 percent of the overall Philadelphia Fringe Festival. From rebellious circus and delicious dance to fearless theater and activist art, Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance while creating a vibrant, artist-centered ecosystem for independent performance makers and adventurous audiences alike.
