PHILLY PUPPET SLAM • May 2026 • Philly Theatre Week

Puppetry is all the rage in Philadelphia once again, and Studio 34 is back on the map as a hub for puppeteers to show their work. Come bask in the warm glow of our stage for two nights of beautiful puppets! This is the special Philadelphia Theatre Week installment of monthly puppet slams where a smorgasbord of puppeteers will perform their acts. There are so many things you can do with puppets! Will you laugh? Will you shed a tear? You will definitely be amazed. And, maybe, you will see a shooting star in the clear night sky on your way out the door...no promises on that one though!

Puppet Slams are traditionally evenings for an adult audience.
