Calling All Puppeteers: Day of Puppetry for Puppeteers

April 9, 2009 in Ballard by Alyssa

On May 16, 2009, the Puppeteers of Puget Sound will be hosting a Day of Puppetry for Puppeteers in Ballard.

 This is a day dedicated to showcasing the work of local puppeteers.

If you are a puppeteer, or a wanna-be puppeteer, developing a show or wish to share a piece of your work not yet seen by your peers, please submit a proposal to committee chair Jean Enticknap at on or before April 24, 2009.  Showcase performers will be announced on the website May 1, 2009.



The event itself will occur at the Sunset Hill Community Club on May 16 with daytime showcase performance times to be announced. There will be a social hour to show off your favorite puppet, a short meeting of the Puppeteers of Puget Sound and a special evening preview of Kyle Loven’s Dear Lewis, recipient of a 2009 Jim Henson Foundation Seed Grant.

Please register at the website for the event, which is free to Puppeteers of Puget Sound and prospective members. Puppeteers of Puget Sound members who attend the Day of Puppetry will receive a free ticket to Thistle Theatre’s 3:00pm performance of the Goblin and the Poet on the day of Puppetry.
