Puppet Slams
Puppet Slams are an evening of short-form puppetry skits. Sponsored by the Puppet Slam Network, Puppet Slams are often give experienced puppeteers a chance to show off a newly built puppet or follow an idea. Previous skits have included an abridged shadow puppet version of Peer Gynt, dinosaur puppets recounting Shakespeare, and duck Céline Djon singing of her love for Big Bird.
