Thanks to the generous support of over 1000 individuals, families, and organizations from around the world, we surpassed our 2020 year-end fundraising goal and saved Puppet Showplace Theater for future generations. Thank you!
We have started off the year filled with renewed hope for the future. Your invaluable support has allowed us to continue our mission of bringing outstanding professional puppetry to audiences in Greater Boston and beyond.
Thanks to your generosity, we are rebuilding. This winter, our resident artists are bringing virtual shows to schools and groups. A new cohort of puppeteers is meeting virtually and developing new work through our Black Puppeteer Empowerment Grant and Creative Research Residency. Plans for virtual family shows, live-streamed puppet slams, adult classes, and youth vacation programs are in the works. Once the warm weather arrives, we will offer outdoor touring shows and relaunch our outdoor performance series so that families can enjoy live performing arts safely.
Even as we faced significant challenges, 2020 was filled with many inspiring moments. What do YOU hope to see in 2021? We welcome you to stay involved, to get in touch with suggestions, and help us chart a course to the future as we head towards recovery.
With Gratitude,
The Puppet Showplace Staff, Artists, and Board of Trustees
