About Us

This showcase of works explores the infectious nature of puppets! From marionettes to paper mache mayhem, puppeteers breed new strains of creativity and present them to an audience of willing test subjects. Watch as artists redefine conventional notions of puppetry!

Like a pandemic, the passion for puppetry is spreading! The only cure - a dose of puppet performances!

These puppetry pieces were developed at the National Puppetry Conference held at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. All profits from these performances fund Alumni Scholarships to attend the National Puppetry Conference, in order to continue propagating provocative theatrical works. The Alumni Scholarship was founded on the belief that puppetry is a contagious art form. Once you have attended the National Puppetry Conference you will most likely be infected by the Puppet Pandemic!

Special Thanks to the National Puppetry Conference, Shadow Box Theatre, and Flock Theatre our who handles our scholarship donations! Please make a tax-deductible donation today!  Puppet Pandemic is made possible in part by a Slam Grant from the Puppet Slam Network.
