About the Show
Let's celebrate! Join Puppet Showplace at a special location — Suffolk University's beautiful historic Modern Theatre in Downtown Boston! — where we'll raise a glass, enjoy a grown-up-friendly puppet cabaret, and celebrate 50 years of Puppet Showplace!
Over the past 50 years at Puppet Showplace, artists have created a treasure trove of vibrant, kooky, touching, lyrical, funny, acerbic, zany, heartfelt, smart, incisive, elegant, weird, hilarious, and downright delightful works of puppetry for audiences to revel in. On May 17th, we'll see short-form puppet works by just a few of these amazing performers — while celebrating all of the artists and audiences who make our community what it is!
What is a puppet slam? Puppet Showplace stays up late to showcase the region's finest short-form puppetry acts...for adults!
The 50th Anniversary Slam will include performances by:
Resident Artist Sarah Nolen
Four-time Incubator Artist Bonnie Duncan of The Gottabees & Meg Rotzel
Veronica Barron & Aimee Rose Ranger
Jon Little
Incubator Artist Tanya Nixon-Silberg
Harry LaCoste
Evan O'Television
John Bell & Trudi Cohen
and more to be announced!
