Tomorrow and Saturday, the Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side is staging one of the more unique shows you'll see. 

"That Paradise Place" is an erotic puppet musical about the love, sex and fantasy lives of artists with disabilities. It was created by a collaborative team of artists with and without disabilities called Pussypaws Puppetry and presented by Summertime, a nonprofit art gallery and studio supporting neurodiverse artists. 

The cast rehearsed at the IATI Theater space on Fourth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery.

Performances are at 8 p.m. tomorrow and 4 and 8 p.m. on Saturday. Ticket info about this "radical celebration of sex positivity, disability justice, and puppet pleasure" is here

The Abrons Art Center is at 466 Grand St. at Pitt Street.
