Booking Your Event

Please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to request a birthday party booking.
We encourage you to submit the booking form as early as possible to secure your preferred date, as our parties are popular events and available times fill up quickly. Most dates are booked eight weeks in advance, and must be booked at least two weeks in advance.

If your preferred date is not available, we may be able to provide you with a touring show at the location of your choice. Please contact the box office boxoffice@puppetshowplace.org to inquire.

Each puppet show is different and varies in theme, style, and age recommendation. Consult our schedule for descriptions about each show, or email the box office for details about each performance.

For more information about shows at a birthday party you are hosting outside of Puppet Showplace, please see our page for touring performances.

Planning Your Party

Enjoy exclusive use of the theater for you and your guests, and a private puppet show. Post-show lobby rental and staff assistance are included.

Our theater’s birthday capacity is currently 50 people (children and adults).

Puppet Showplace provides the performance and party venues, buffet tables and tablecloths, and access to our kitchenette. You bring the refreshments, paper goods, and any games or activities you would like to have at the party. Theater staff will set up your refreshment tables while you are enjoying the performance. When the party is over, we will take care of the clean up!

Puppet-themed party favors and gifts can be purchased from our puppet store.
