Puppet Showplace Theater is an entertainment venue in Brookline, Massachusetts, and is described as New England’s only professional year-round theater dedicated to presenting live puppetry. Each year the organization stages more than 300 performances by professional puppet companies for local audiences, while also touring shows to schools, libraries, and cultural centers across the Northeast. The theater offers workshops, classes, summer camps, and training opportunities for both children and adults, and collaborates with emerging artists to develop new work, aiming to support puppetry as a living art form and a method for entertainment, education, and creative self-expression. Located in Brookline Village, the organization has been active for several decades and operates with a staff and volunteer board, relying on support from individual donors, local businesses, and grants to sustain its programming, which ranges from children’s party performances to more provocative evening performances. A recent development noted is the hiring of a new staff member in 2019, reflecting ongoing organizational activity within its community-focused model.
