Cozy Arts films Mr. Cuddles is Missing at Puppet Showplace Theater, Dec 2021.
We are at the halfway point of our spring appeal and have raised 30% of our $25,000 goal. Help us spring to the finish line so we can continue to support puppeteers in the creation and presentation of their work!
We work with our beloved artists in a variety of ways to support their practice, whether by providing grants, space for rehearsals, professional mentorship, skill-sharing opportunities, or creative support for works-in-development. Your contributions make this possible!
Our current season, Summer Puppet Adventures has only just begun, but we’re already engaged in many fun and creative endeavors with our performers…
Thanks to funding from donors like you and a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, artists Tanya Nixon-Silberg and Sarah Nolen spent two intensive weeks rehearsing at Puppet Showplace Theater, culminating in a beautiful remounting of My Night in the Planetarium.
This week, dramaturg and puppeteer Brenda Huggins moves into the space to rehearse her puppet opera about climate awareness titled Mr. Twister. And, stay tuned for the premiere of Honey Goodenough’s Stewie’s Magic Hat next month!
Summer brings us opportunities to explore the stage and share with new audiences for the first time, Join us this Thursday from 7:00-9:00 EST for a virtual Community Sharing from our 2022 Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers cohort. Get an exclusive preview of their work as they share about their inspirations, research, and processes. Then Saturday, join us in person for our Summer Cinema Slam, which will welcome a diverse mix of returning artists and new friends to the theater for a live and in-person slam, with a summer cinema theme!
And all this is just the beginning of our summer adventures with the amazing artists in our community!
Make a gift today to help fund upcoming artists projects and new work development!
