Sweater Puppies (featuring Archer’s Amber Nash)

Sweater Puppies are an all-star, all-female team from Atlanta, Georgia. Karen Cassady, Megan Leahy, Whittney Millsap and Amber Nash have worked together for years and finally combined their talents to create new experiences with old clothes. The Sweater Puppies ask audiences to bring in pieces of clothing that are no longer needed, which are used as inspiration for short and long-form shows. After the show, all of the clothing is donated to a deserving charity. A fun show plus a good deed gives everyone a case of the warm and fuzzies!
