For over 30 years, the Puppet Showplace Theatre has provided audiences of all ages with the finest in puppetry arts. The award winning productions that we bring to our stage cover the entire spectrum of this ancient and unique form of theatre, from children's to adult productions, from traditional to cutting edge.

Description:
The Puppet Showplace Theatre (PST) is a non-profit performing arts organization committed to excellence in puppetry for all audiences.

As the first puppetry center in New England, we strive to promote and present the magical world of puppet theatre to a broad community; to educate and enlighten audiences of all ages, abilities and backgrounds about this ancient, worldwide theatre; to share our passion for puppetry as a vital, living art.

We support the use of puppetry in its many forms, from traditional to contemporary, as a medium for entertainment, education, and artistic expression; and, in partnership with area businesses, schools and other philanthropic organizations, we encourage and participate in puppetry and performing arts as a community service that can change lives for the better.

History:
PST was founded as a storefront theatre in Brookline Village by visionary educator and puppeteer Mary Putnam Churchill, who saw puppetry as a powerful medium for teaching children lessons, broadening their horizons, inspiring their creative imaginations, and introducing them to the magic of theatre.

PST still occupies those same spaces in quaint Brookline Village in a stately brick building that is listed in the National Historic Register. market.
