Celebrate your special day at
The Puppet Showplace Theatre

In 2004, The Boston Parents Paper named
The Puppet Showplace Theatre the Best Birthday Party Place!

There are several types of parties you can have at PST:

• The least expensive option is for the birthday party to come to the theater and see a show as a group. (All children and parents who go into the theatre must have a ticket.)
• A more popular option is for the group to see the final public show of the day, and have a party in our colorful lobby afterward.
• Private birthday parties in the theater are another, more expensive option and must be scheduled well in advance to ensure performer availability.
• Finally, the PST can suggest one of our touring performers with whom you can arrange a performance at your home or other facility.

Groups to Public Shows

Celebrate by taking a group of your child's friends or classmates to one of our weekday TOT shows or weekend Family Shows. Each show varies in appropriateness for parties and age level. Consult our schedule for details and age recommendations for each show.

Reservations for group seating are required.

Lobby Rental

The lobby rental is $100 for one hour. Our staff will set up the party for you on two buffet tables while you're in the show, and then clean up after you have left.

You bring all the refreshments, paper goods, and any games or activities you'd like to have at the party. We will save seats for the birthday group toward the front of the theatre, and the birthday child's name will be announced just before the puppet show.

Our lobby can accommodate approximately 20 children plus adults and is available for parties after our last show of that day (11:30am after the 10:30am TOT show or 4pm after our Weekend performances)

PST provides:

• Reserved group seating (Reservations are required.)
• Pre-show announcement of the birthday
• Buffet style table for serving refreshments
• Simple birthday decorations
• Setup and cleanup

Private Birthday Party Shows

A private show in our theatre can be arranged followed by a party in our lobby. Base price of $550 may vary per quotation, dependent upon puppeteer availability.

PST provides:

• Private show or workshop age appropriate for your group
• Buffet style table for serving refreshments
• Decorations (balloons, colorful tablecloth, and sign with birthday child's name )
• Invitations master and complete directions to send to your guests
• Setup and cleanup

The theatre hosts many performances and events throughout the year, so not all dates are available. We encourage early inquiries to avoid disappointment. For more information, call our Box Office at 617.731.6400.
