Each June, participants gather from across the globe to create works that defy the bounds of contemporary theater and the imagination.


The mission of the National Puppetry Conference is to encourage puppet artists to create and communicate through the visual and kinetic form of the puppet, to push beyond their personal boundaries, and develop new works for puppet theater.
