Pulling Strings

Pulling strings is what the Great Arizona Puppet Theater does best. Since 1983, this small non-profit organization celebrates Arizona's culture, heritage, and ecology through the art of puppetry. From writing and directing shows to designing and building puppets and sets, master puppeteers create a magical world for the young and young at heart. Whether manipulating hand puppets, rod puppets, or marionettes, they are true control freaks in the most entertaining sense of the term.

The great Arizona Puppets Theater sets the stage for entertainment, performing 400 shows a year at their historic home site on Latham Street in downtown Phoenix. They also have an extensive touring schedule, delighting audiences at schools, libraries, malls, festivals, and homes. Their repertoire of 50 shows includes classic fairy takes, original stores, and educational programs.
