We loved hosting the only regional Puppeteers of America festival in 2025! So many amazing folks from all over the States met in the Midwest this past July to share the joy of puppetry--with each other and the local community.
Like dandelion seeds in the wind, however, most of this dream team of a committee has dispersed for other projects. But a few remain, and we are making plans to host another puppet event in Verona in 2026--a very mini festival. (And not a PofA this time, either, as the official regions likely have their own events in the works for next year. Go to as many of those as you can--I know I will!)
We are talking with local venues and folks in the puppet industry, and hope to offer a day or two of workshops, a few performances, and if we decide to gamble with the weather, another Community Day with all the entertainment we had this past summer. On the workshop side, we are striving for a more slow-paced, intimate, and intentional gathering. Mark your calendar for the fall of 2026 and stay tuned to this space for updates!
