Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival
Blowing in like Chicago’s winter, the Chicago Puppet Festival brings a flurry — of puppets! With hundreds of artists and civic leaders working around the globe and here in Chicago to make it happen, we aim to fan a fire in you that inspires your vigor and heats your soul. We offer a unique and broad range of work from around our planet. You’ll find the puppet particularly adept at embodying the supernatural with such tales as Dracula or The Cabinet. Likewise the puppet holds the gravity of powerful dramas such as Life & Times of Michael K and The House by the Lake. And equally capturing a comic world of I Killed The Monster. Revel with us in the return of Chicago’s jewel: The Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival!
