Atlanta, GA – Live in-person performances, customized online programming, new special exhibitions, holiday events, and more are all part of the Fall and Winter season at the Center for Puppetry Arts, a press release announced. This season offers something special for everyone, anywhere – at the Center, online, and at your location. For the full schedule, see below or visit puppet.org

“The Center is thrilled to bring back a season full of in-person performances, exciting new exhibitions, and special events, while continuing to offer onsite educational programming and digital programming worldwide,” said Beth Schiavo, Executive Director. “There’s truly something for everyone this season. We welcome patrons to explore our opportunities in-person, online, or at your location. We continue to focus on patron safety, requiring masks in accordance with the city’s recent mandate and the CDC recommendations.”

A Center ticket includes 3 activities: the performance, the Worlds of Puppetry Museum and the Create-A-Puppet Workshop™. In the workshop, guests are invited to build, decorate and perform with their own puppet on the Center’s classroom stage. The puppets are based on the characters and style of puppetry in each individual production. This season’s Create-A-Puppet Workshops™ feature the Shy Sheep Hand Puppet to accompany Mother Goose, a Plundering Pirate Hand Puppet to accompany Everybody Loves Pirates, a Silly Cyclops Hand Puppet to accompany The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Silly Hollow, and a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™ Shadow Puppet to accompany Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer™.

The Center maintains its dedication to a safe environment for its staff and guests by requiring masks, encouraging social distancing, limiting capacity and frequent cleanings.
