Verona, wisconsin

Workshops and performances are in three downtown Verona locations, all of them walking distance to each other. Registered attendees choose one intensive workshop to learn a new skill or hone an existing one. Class sizes are capped to create a small, intentional cohort and provide individual attention from the master instructors.

Your registration buys:

• Nine hours of masterclass workshop time on Friday and Saturday morning
• Shared Friday night dinner
• Admission to Friday night main stage performances 

What to expect:

Thursday, October 8th: A pre-festival gathering and puppet open mic. Held in the evening at ART House 360 for a freewill donation, gather early to chat, relax, and even sign up to perform! (This event is open to all ages, so keep your performance family-friendly, low tech--one mic and lights on or off--and above all, short!)

Friday, October 9th: Workshops and ticketed evening performance

Saturday, October 10th: Workshops conclude in the morning, and Community Day begins--free puppet performances and activities, art market, vendors, food trucks, and a lantern puppet parade, if weather permits

• $275 (early bird, April 1 - April 30) 
• $300 (regular, May 1 - October 8)
• Exception: Liz Hara and Frankie Cordero's extended workshop is priced at $900
