Experience the Best of Contemporary Puppetry from Around the U.S.
Presented by Beau Brown Productions LLC
Curated by Tim Sweeney, Jason Hines, and Beau Brown
Hosted by Beau Brown
For one weekend only, experience the beauty, ingenuity, and hilarity of original short-form puppetry by talented artists from across the United States. These contemporary pieces for adult audiences have been nominated by their respective slams and curated for an evening of short works that aspire to be as varied as the vast national network of independently produced puppetry slams it celebrates.
Since its inception at the 2011 National Puppetry Festival, the National Puppet Slam has continued its mission to showcase excellence and variety in short form adult puppet theatre.
Funding made possible in part by Dragon Con and the Puppet Slam Network.
