OUR NEW SHOW "YOU HAVE ARRIVED" IS ABOUT TO, WELL... ARRIVE.
This summer, we put the finishing touches on a show that has been years in the making and take it on a three-festival tour across Canada: 1001 Patentes, SpringWorks~PuppetWorks!, and Puppets Up! We could not be more excited.
You Have Arrived tells the story of one woman's journey through climate displacement. Her story — spoiler alert — turns out to be everyone's story.
And the journey does not stop there. This fall, we bring the show to the Puppets in the House Festival in Verona, Wisconsin and the STAND Festival in Vancouver.
The artists who built this show poured their hearts into it. While touring brings in income, festival fees alone rarely cover the full cost of what it takes to get a production on the road. We are raising funds to bridge that gap and make sure every person who helped create this work is paid what they deserve. Rising travel and shipping costs are real, and your support goes directly to the people who made this possible.
Help us pay our artists and bring this story to the stages it deserves.
Thank you!

Hot take: the most memorable TV puppetry performances aren't just technically sharp — they're alive.
That's what improv does. It wakes your puppet up.
Join Sarah Nolen for Improv for TV Puppetry — a 2-session workshop where we throw out the script and lean into instinct, play, and spontaneity on the monitor.
Whether you're brand new to improv or just new to doing it with a puppet, this workshop meets you where you are. Come ready to surprise yourself. 🎭
Spots are limited.

Meet your teacher: Sarah Nolen 🌟
Sarah has trained with Sesame Workshop, performed at international puppetry festivals, built a puppet for Netflix, and has been teaching puppet improv at comedy houses and puppet theaters for years. She's also the third-ever Resident Artist at Puppet Showplace Theater in Brookline, MA.
Oh — and she's a comedy improv grad who genuinely loves monitor work.
Her Improv for TV Puppetry workshop is a 2-session deep dive into the most fun skill you didn't know you were missing. Characters. Scenes. The frame as your playground.
Let's play.
