When I discovered the Puppet Showplace Theater existed near me, I got super excited. I've been a fan of puppetry since I was a kid (Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, Muppets!), so I was definitely curious to see what they had to offer. Luckily, they offer quirky and compelling adult entertainment such as Puppet Slams (works-in-progress, original pieces, and unique content geared towards adult audiences) as well as shows with really powerful content (shows on disability, refugees, racial injustice). The staff are super-friendly and engaging and appear to really value their contributions to the arts and the community. If you're in the area as a long-time resident or just visiting for the day, definitely check it out. If you've got kids, they have a continual mix of shows, programs, and classes that kids can have a blast at.
