Dallas Puppet Theater

If you’re a fan of Punch and Judy (or even just The Muppets), you’ll probably find something to like from this longstanding nonprofit group dedicated to promoting the art of puppetry. They perform with hand puppets, marionettes and even shadow puppets -- yes, shadow puppeteer is a real job -- at schools and festivals all over the region, and you can even hire them to appear at your kid’s (or your own) birthday party.
