About the Event

The festival explores how puppetry is a mind expander, a sparker of creativity, a barrier destroyer and a bridge builder. Given the deep history of puppetry at University of Maryland, we will also examine the resurgence of puppetry in the here and now. Join us for workshops, presentations and opportunities to create.

Free and open to the University of Maryland community.
Events are being held *in-person* at the Clarice Performing Arts Center, University of Maryland, College Park.
The festival will follow all university COVID-19 protocols. Proof of vaccination required.
