FAQs
What the heck is a puppet slam?
A night of curated short form puppet and object theatre. You might see a comedic hand puppet piece, a dramatic and moving marionette, a haunting shadow performance, a life size Pegasus, you never know!
​
There are puppet slams all over the country and are a fantastic place to showcase new and emerging puppetry works. And after the slam, don’t miss the Puppet Lab, where puppeteers show their work and let you get up close and personal with the puppets! Take pictures, see how they work and try out puppeteering!
​
While you are watching all types of professional puppetry and talent, enjoy a delicious drink or snack!
How much does it cost?
Suggested donation of $5-10 which will go directly to the puppeteers and funding future slams.
​
Is it child-friendly?
Depends on the slam. But usually it is not FOR children, but kids are invited with a grown up! Keeps your eyes out for the next Puppet Palooza, a festival which is exclusively FOR kids! Usually in the Summertime.
