IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Puppets on Tour is comprised of full length shows (45-60 minutes) for assemblies or public performances at libraries, festivals, and art centers.

The UNIMA-USA award was created by Jim Henson to promote high quality puppetry in the United States and is considered the "Academy Award" of puppetry. The company is also an 8 time recipient of the Jim Henson Family Foundation grant to support new work development, most recently receiving an award for our 2021 original production "How to Snag a Sea Monster".
