About the Show
The Western Massachusetts Puppetry Guild proudly presents an evening of entertainment for the whole family! For the past two years, WMPG has held the Young Puppeteer Film Contest, receiving entries from young puppeteers up to age 19 from around the world. Entries were created to the theme of “Once Upon A Time” in 2021 and “The Final Frontier” in 2022, and were judged on various performance and creative puppetry elements.
This year, for the very first time, all the films from both years will be shown on “big screen,” at Puppet Showplace Theater. Please join us to appreciate the hard work our young contestants put in to make these wonderful films!
Puppet Showplace Theater is thrilled to collaborate for the first time with the Western Massachusetts Puppetry Guild. The proceeds from the event will be split between the two organizations.
Masks are strongly encouraged for audience members ages 2+
About the Organization
The Western Massachusetts Puppetry Guild was formed in 2020 with the mission to create a forum to share and grow the art of puppetry. WMPG is a member of Puppeteers of America, a network of regional organization dedicated to puppetry arts and education.
WMPG holds monthly Clubhouse meetings for members to share what they are working on, talk shop, and just socialize with other puppetry enthusiasts. For the past two years WMPG has also held a puppetry short film contest for kids and teens.
