That was the sweet exclamation from the audience during one performance of Party Animals by Sarah Nolen of Puppet Motion (and the resident artist of Puppet Showplace), during the show’s premiere run on June 7 - 15.

Nurturing the next generation...
As I write this, Puppet Showplace is preparing to announce the 5th cohort of our Creative Residency for Black Puppeteers (CRBP). This program is expanding from two months to six months so that we can offer more support, mentorship, and community-building to support early-stage works by Black artists.
