I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
A Puppet Salon is short-form puppetry for grown-ups. A place for that wacky idea you have to take center stage and shine. They are also called Puppet Slams in many parts of the country.
Blood from a Turnip is a Puppet Salon celebrating the diversity of puppet expression and the range of folks who tell stories through objects. Since its founding in 1997, the event has presented short-form puppet shows in a variety of styles and incubates the professional and amateur puppeteer alike.
