Puppet Showplace Theater

We invite you to explore this ancient and evocative global art form and to get to know our theatre, one of the oldest continuously operating puppet theatres in the country. The award-winning productions we bring to our stage have delighted audiences of all ages for 38 years.  Plan your visit today! As the first puppetry center in New England, we strive to promote and present the magical world of puppet theatre to a broad community; to educate and enlighten audiences of all ages, abilities and backgrounds about this ancient, worldwide theatre; to share our passion for puppetry as a vital, living art. We support the use of puppetry in its many forms, from traditional to contemporary, as a medium for entertainment, education, and artistic expression; and, in partnership with area businesses, schools and other philanthropic organizations, we encourage and participate in puppetry and performing arts as a community service that can change lives for the better.
