Puppet Showplace Theater jobs and careers

About Puppet Showplace Theater

Puppet Showplace Theater is New England’s only professional year-round theater dedicated to presenting live puppetry. Each year, we present over 300 performances by professional puppet companies to audiences in our Brookline Village theater. Our touring shows travel to schools, libraries, and cultural centers throughout the Northeast region. We offer workshops, classes, summer camps, and training opportunities to both children and adults, and we partner with emerging artists to develop new work. We share our passion for puppetry as a vital, living art form and strive to engage audiences of all ages abilities and backgrounds. We support the use of puppetry for entertainment, in education, and as a means of creative self-expression. After 40 years of operations, the theater has become a treasured cultural institution. Puppet Showplace is run by an experienced staff and volunteer board of trustees. We are supported by contributions from individual donors, local businesses and foundation and government grants. From children’s birthday party performances to provocative Puppets at Night performances, our programming is designed to reach a large and diverse audience.
