Luman Coad
Coad Canada Puppets

Frequently called "one of North America’s leading puppet theatres", Coad Canada Puppets was founded in 1966 by Arlyn and Luman Coad. The company has performed throughout North America as well as seventeen countries across Europe, the Middle East, South America, and the Pacific Rim. The Canadian Department of External Affairs has sponsored nine of the international tours.

The troupe has won numerous major puppetry awards including First Prize at the 1977 International Festival of Puppet-Actors in Poland, and both the Puppeteers of America Trustees’ Award and the President’s Award (the highest honours in North American puppetry). The American Centre of l’Union Internationale de la Marionnette has awarded the Coads eight Citations of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry. They are frequent performers and lecturers at North American and international puppetry festivals and have taught their art at several universities.
