What our past interns say about working at PST:

"I think Puppet Showplace Theatre is a great place to get involved in a local neighborhood arts organization. It’s also a great way to learn about puppetry! There are lots of cool people to work with, and you get to meet unique performers. I can’t imagine anyone not having a positive experience."
