Every other month Puppet Showplace Theater stays open late to showcase the region’s finest short-form puppetry acts…for adults! Each piece is performed by a different artist, and the content ranges from hilarious to profound and everything in between.  The performers include everyone from veteran professionals to first-time puppeteers, and acts often feature musicians, dancers, circus performers, and other affiliated artists.

The Puppet Slam returns! Boston’s only puppet cabaret returns on Saturday, May 20 with a fantastic assortment of whimsical, irreverent, and mind-blowing puppetry acts. This slam will be hosted by acclaimed ventriloquist Susan Linn and will feature puppetry work by Kim Mikenis, Kelly McGowan, Kaitee Tredway, Nick Wickstrom, Caitlin Brzezinski, Libby Schap, and MORE! Live music by Phil Berman, cash bar with beer from Cambridge Brewing Company. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for this popular show.
