Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed a handful of talented folks to the Puppet Showplace team.

As a supporter of Puppet Showplace, you know that theater brings us together. But for some families, even an $18 ticket is a barrier to joining in.

We've got something special for you this morning.

It’s a summer afternoon and Natsumi, age 10, is here to express herself. She doesn’t want to act in a play — “I don't like it when eyes are on me,” — but she loves designing her own puppets and creating shows in our vacation week programs.
