Experience Contemporary Puppetry
For one weekend only, experience the beauty, ingenuity, and hilarity of original short-form puppetry by talented artists from across the United States. These contemporary pieces for adult audiences have been nominated by their respective slams and curated for an evening of short works that aspire to be as varied as the vast national network of independently produced puppetry slams it celebrates.
Since its inception in 2011, the National Puppet Slam has showcased the cutting edge of adult puppet theatre, featuring performers recognized for their innovation, humor, and daring storytelling.
