Puppet LIFE

09/02/2026

Puppet L.I.F.E. was created to give aspiring and working puppeteers a place to learn, practice, and grow and we want to keep expanding what we can offer our students!

As a small business, we’re asking our community to consider making a donation to help us expand our puppetry offerings. Your support will help us purchase a hand-held mechanical puppet, very similar to ones seen at the famous Orlando theme parks. We're planning to buy either a baby reindeer or baby raptor puppet.

With this addition, our students will be able to receive invaluable experience and exposure to a new form of puppetry. Beyond training, we have hopes to use this puppet to offer future paid work to our students, to help them build their professional credits.

Every contribution, big or small, directly helps us create more opportunities for puppeteers. If you believe in supporting artists, education, and the future of puppetry, we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.

🎭 Calling All Puppetry Students! 🧑‍🎨
We're excited to offer a one-of-a-kind Puppet Building Workshop—a unique opportunity to create your own puppet with hands-on guidance!

✨ Only 10 spots are available, so registration is extremely limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

To reserve your spot, email us today. Payment will be collected in person at the event.

Because this workshop has such limited availability, students who register are expected to attend. Please note that canceling your registration may not be possible, so only sign up if you're confident you can join us.
