PUPPET: An inanimate figure that is made to move by a human

Puppets are for everyone. They can make you laugh. They can make you cry. They can open our eyes to the world in new ways. They bring joy, creative outlet and help us tackle emotional and social issues. Puppets can create meaningful bonds within families and groups of people through the breadth of expression they provide and through the collaboration required to construct them

WP Puppet Theatre is a not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to creating innovative learning opportunities through the art of puppetry.

We believe that producing theatre for young audiences is an important job. We understand the responsibility in performing for young (and older) minds to have a positive and lasting impact. Our goal therefore is to bring ideas to families that will spark conversations, encourage profound thought, inspire creativity and Animate the Spirit!

"Thank you for presenting to our classroom. I was delighted to see how the students took such pride in their own creations. I was especially moved when I noticed Simon completely come out of his shell and interact with his classmate. This is a real milestone for him, and I believe the puppet gave him a safe voice."
