Puppetry is exercise for your imagination!

Join the Teaching Artists of Puppet Showplace Theater for one week of fun puppet-building and performance activities.

We'll also explore how puppeteers use movement, sound, and other performance skills to bring characters to life.

Students will learn how to design, construct, and perform different styles of puppetry, culminating in a short performance for families on Friday afternoon!

This full-day program includes mini-performances by the instructor, group games, outdoor play, courtyard lunch and snack breaks, and daily creative challenges.

Each week will take a deep dive into one style of puppetry — past programs have explored marionettes, to hand puppets, to shadow puppets, and more — while offering a taste of other puppetry styles.

Kids will learn techniques for for sewing, cutting, and gluing while making their own puppets.

Kids will chart their discoveries throughout the week, keep a creative journal/sketchbook, and parents and children alike always look forward to the end-of-week sharing!

This program is a great way to spend vacation week in a fun, friendly, creative, and supportive environment.
