We're still buzzing with excitement from the premiere run of Don't Make Me Get Dressed by The Gottabees last month! With over 1,700 attendees, the show was definitely a hit — 9 out of 23 performances were completely sold out.

As we move into our 50th anniversary year, Puppet Showplace is dedicated to expanding the impact of our programs — investing in new works of puppetry that uplift diverse artists and stories, so that every child (and every grownup) can encounter a fictional world that is as rich as the world we live in. 

“Audience members still talk about Les Sages Fous’s previous sold-out visit to Puppet Showplace ten years ago,” shares Veronica Barron.

We’re pleased to announce our new Executive Artistic Director, Veronica Barron; our new Visiting Artistic Associate Ash Winkfield, and a first peek at our vision for PST’s 50th anniversary next year.

Over 50 puppetry fans joined together virtually and in-person to celebrate and learn about the work created by six spectacular Black puppetry artists of Puppet Showplace’s 2023 Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers.

Boston-based puppetry and music collective The Gottabees brings the world premiere of their new show “Don’t Make Me Get Dressed” to Puppet Showplace Theater in Brookline, MA this November!

On Sunday, long-time members joined brand new members (some who signed up that day!) in making superhero puppets with guidance from Brad Shur of Paper Heart Puppets.

2022 finally allowed us to bring families, friends, puppets, and puppeteers back together in one magical space to celebrate—and now here we are, in 2023, ready for a whole new year’s adventures to begin!
