Artists
As New England’s puppet theater, we strive to present regional premieres by nationally touring artists while investing in new works by local puppeteers.
Outreach
Each year we provide over 1,000 free and subsidized tickets to children from Boston’s underserved communities in honor of our founder Mary Churchill.
Facilities
Our historic theater is a gateway to imagination and creativity. Renovations help keep it comfortable and accessible for all.
““My daughter Penny and I moved to Brookline and we decided to check out the fun puppet theater we’d heard about down the street. Over the next year, I don’t think we missed more than 2-3 shows. We fell in love—as so many have—with this amazing theater and its ability to transform a simple stage and a handful of handmade puppets into worlds and characters beyond our imaginations. Puppet Showplace Theater is really a treasure, and we hope it goes on for many generations to come.””
“ Thanks to the direct support of the community, artists receive the tools, resources, and community engagement experiences they need in order to create strong and lasting work.
The work made here is made for everyone. Your support makes Puppet Showplace a welcoming space for all. ”
Your gift of any amount will make a difference!
We all share a passion for imagination. Help us create a thriving arts organization that welcomes, inspires, and uplifts everyone in our community.
