The Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers (CRBP) is a national initiative of Brookline’s Puppet Showplace Theater that supports the development of original works by Black artists.
It amplifies diverse voices in puppetry arts and centers the creation of new narratives by supporting artists at the earliest stages of development.
The residency provides fellows with mentorship, skill-building opportunities, community connection, and a $1000 grant. This program is about representation, storytelling, and creating space for voices that aren’t always heard.
Come experience the future of puppetry!
