Puppet Pop Up - It's Not A Box!

For our 2024 -25 season we’re popping up around the city at seven different locations on the first Saturday afternoon, from 1:00 – 3:00 pm of each month (with the exception of December, February and June). Planning on attending all seven Puppet Pop Ups?

Save your tickets and present them at our June Family Puppet Festival Day for FREE entry!

Enjoy the story of imagination and creativity with our feature book "NOT A BOX" by Antoinette Portis. Then make your puppet character, maybe the rabbit from the book. Make it from … a box! Add details and a puppet voice and animate your puppet to tell a micro story about playing with its own box.

Facilitator: Wendy Passmore- Godfrey (she/her) is artist, creator and founder and director of WP Puppet Theatre. She especially likes boxes of all shapes and size and can’t wait to share her box collection with participants.
