This past Saturday’s Spring into Summer event was a joyous celebration of puppetry, community, and art-making! Friends new and old gathered by the hundreds at Emerson Garden to watch free puppet shows, engage in interactive performances, dress-up in processional puppets, and make their own talking, walking, and springing creatures!
Today we ask you to make a donation to Puppet Showplace Theater to help us continue our mission to provide exceptional community programming.
Kids found their voices through their own creations.

Kids and grown-ups delighted at furry monsters poking their heads out of a caboose window and cheered alongside Judy as she “saved the day.” One child watched with wide eyes as two cardboard shoe inserts and a brush became a hopping bunny. Families made their way through the ribbons of a “Space for Change,” weaving a web of colors. Others donned masks and full-body costumes of fantastical creatures, parading to the music of a marching trombone while Funny Honey twisted balloons for all to enjoy.
Make a gift today to help fund future community events and support another season of captivating, transformative puppetry!
