This summer, Center for Puppetry Arts is holding a “Passport to Puppetry” program. Not only are this summer’s shows performed by puppetry troupes from all over the country, the stories they tell will take you all the way from the rainforest to the high seas. By using your Passport to Puppetry you can collect prizes just for coming to see these magical performances. To participate, all you have to do is CLICK HERE to download your Passport to Puppetry, see some enchanting puppet performances, and paste your ticket stubs inside of your Passport! Once you reach three shows you can start collecting awesome prizes like finger puppets, vouchers for Museum tours, Museum store gift certificates, and free show tickets! The prizes are cumulative, so the more shows you see the more prizes you get.
Shows that remain in the Passport to Puppetry program include "The Lion, the Mouse & Other Aesop’s Fables," by Red Herring Puppets of Fairview, NC, "Hansel and Gretel," by Tanglewood Marionettes of Ware, MA, "Billy Goats Gruff and Other Stuff," by All Hands Productions of Atlanta, GA, "Everybody Loves Pirates," by Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers of Bar Harbor, ME, and "Rumpelstiltskin," performed by the Center’s own company of puppeteers.
