Richmond has such a great theatre/art scene. In our travels performing throughout the country, we've experienced communities with strong puppetry scenes. Atlanta. Boston. NYC. Syracuse. Philly. Asheville. Putney, Vermont! All different shapes and sizes, but with lots of puppetry.
Presenting live puppetry in RVA on a regular basis allows another opportunity for families to experience live theatre together and allows adult audiences to see a different side of puppetry. Our family shows will go beyond mainstream offerings as we share fun works that showcase the creativity of puppet artists working in a multitude of puppetry styles. Hand puppets? Check. Rod puppets? Check. Non-verbal shows? You bet! Marionettes, shadow puppets, object puppets? Yes, yes, yes! Let us open your eyes to the possibilities in puppetry!
