PuppetFest MidWest 2008 is over, but we'll leave the site up for a bit while we rest from our week of fun. When we return, we'll have festival summaries for you from our scholarship recipients and photos of what went on this year.
See you next year at PuppetFest MidWest
!
The purpose of PuppetFest MidWest is to promote, encourage and illustrate by example and by hands-on experience good puppet theatre. At the festival, you will be treated to world-class puppet performances in an intimate setting, and you will participate in a 4 day in-depth workshop, taught by one of the professional puppeteers performing at the festival. You will learn skills and techniques from some of the best puppeteers performing today.
How about a blast from the past? Take a look at past PuppetFest MidWest festivals and see what all the excitement is about!
