Fodor's Review:
In a renovated church in the Maple Leaf neighborhood, the only puppet center in the Northwest highlights the renowned marionettes of the Carter family, professional puppeteers trained by masters from Italy, Romania, and China. For their talents they have received a Fulbright Award and a UNIMA/USA Citation of Excellence, the highest award in American puppet theater. Performances are open to the public on weekends. Recent shows include The Nutcracker, The Travels of Babar, and The Adventures of Sinbad. Also on-site are a museum, theater, research library, picnic area, playground, and shop where puppet-making workshops and marionette classes are held.
- Cost: Varies by performance
- Open: Call for performance and workshop schedules
