18th Annual Utah Puppetry Festival 4/25/2009

Each year the Puppetry Arts Guild of Utah hosts a Puppetry Festival where members teach a number of classes on puppetry topics, including basic puppetry performance techniques, as well as advanced puppet building, ventriloquism, and puppet use in education. A workshop schedule will be available on this website by the middle of February.

In conjunction with the workshops, the guild also produces a Puppet Variety Show, called the Great Puppet Follies, featuring performances by puppeteers from all over Utah.
