Mission Statement
The Dallas Puppet Theater is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and advancing the performing, visual, and creative art of puppetry through an ongoing series of family performances, guest artists, school programs, workshops, outreach programs and exhibits.
About This Cause
For over 35 years, the Dallas Puppet Theater has worked with organizations like the Dallas Opera, the Symphony Association, the Dallas Theater Center, Garland Summer Musicals, Casa Mañana, Garland Civic Theater, Waco-McClennan County Library System, TU Electric, the Dallas Zoo, Maricopa County Library, St Louis Library, the Meadows Museum, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Houston Symphony and a host of other organizations throughout the country to bring puppetry to an ever-widening audience. The Dallas Puppet Theater is uniquely qualified to bring life to ideas in order to teach and entertain. For more two decades, the Dallas Puppet Theater produced an ongoing series of family performances, performing an average of fifty weeks per year with a collection of stories based on historical events, operas, original stories, and lighthearted adaptations of classic children's literature. Guest artists are also an important part of the Dallas Puppet Theater's programming, offering audiences a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of the brightest stars in the puppetry universe. During that time, the Dallas Puppet Theater performed for some half-million audience members at resident theaters and at events and venues throughout Dallas, the state of Texas, and the United States. The Dallas Puppet Theater also offers materials, technical, and historical research to puppeteers and puppet enthusiasts from all walks of life. Puppet-making workshops for children as well as technical workshops for educators and therapists make puppetry accessible and practical in a variety of uses. As an outreach program at the Women’s Museum until its closing, the Dallas Puppet Theater brought hundreds of students and families to the museum and increased visibility in the community and across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Currently the Dallas Puppet Theater is curating the Gary and Carmen Busk collection, one of the largest puppetry collections in the United States, and developing a strategy to install a permanent museum exhibit and location for its extensive library of puppet-related works, making the Dallas Puppet Theater an outstanding research resource for puppeteers throughout the country and the world.
