Center for Puppetry Arts

Help Us Pull Some Strings

Over the course of our 46 years, the Center for Puppetry Arts has introduced millions of area children to the performing arts. Students attend Family Series shows that carry topical lessons from their curriculum, adapt favorite storybooks to the stage, and illuminate different cultures. They try their hand at invention in our Create-A-Puppet Workshops and expand their horizons in our museum exhibitions or virtual programs delivered right to their classrooms.   

Today, we regularly encounter our first generation of visitors again. Teachers and parents who came to the Center when they were kids bring their students and children to experience the special programs that left a mark on their childhood.   

This giving season, we ask for your help to ensure that our unique programs and accessible arts experiences continue for generations to come! Your gift can support our effort to expand our educational programming to new audiences and extend deeper support to area schools and teachers. We need your help ensuring our lives are filled with creative outlets and learning aids at every age!   Gifts of any size can help us with the major facilities projects we have to keep up with year to year, so we are sure to stay up and running!
