Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
We produce a year-round repertory of puppet shows that explore a variety of cultures. Puppet-making workshops follow most performances, and tours of our museum are on Wednesdays and Saturdays noon to 3 pm.

PuppetART is located in Detroit’s Theater District, just a few blocks from the Michigan Opera Theater, Music Hall and the Gem and Century Theaters. The Center includes an intimate 70-person theater, a museum that accommodates a growing collection of puppets and a studio featuring various workshops.

Founded in 1998 by a group of puppeteers and artists trained in Russia, all members of the PuppetART troupe are masters of puppetry. PuppetART offers a repertoire of twelve productions, including one created for adult audiences. Performances feature hand, rod, shadow, floor tabletop and string or marionette puppets. All events at PuppetART combine a theater performance, museum admission and an optional workshop.

We believe:

 

  • -  In multi-ethnic diversity.
  • - That people have a conscious desire to preserve their ethnic beliefs and tradition.
  • - That puppetry presents the wisdom of traditions, the beauty of spirit and art of people.  

    - That puppetry is a perfect way to learn, to teach, and to share for audiences for all ages.

  • - That puppetry is a unique art form because it is found in every culture throughout the world.
