Puppetry Extravaganza
Step into a cozy and friendly setting where you can practice puppetry with professional kit and puppets. Our Monitor Night welcomes everyone, from the curious beginner to the practiced pro. Who knows, you might just find yourself playing on the monitor with someone who's been in the puppet game for twenty-five years, or standing beside a first-timer! All people and puppets welcome!
Festive Fun and Games
What’s a holiday event without a little fun? Engage in festive puppet Charades and games or belt out your favorite tunes in our merry karaoke session. Ready to get into the spirit? We’ll even be screening some jolly puppet Christmas films to keep the cheer going!

Puppet Hospital
Do you have an injured puppet? Did your Monster friend lose an eye? We’ve all been there! Bring your puppets on the mend to the Puppet Hospital!
