2025 Best Place to Spark Your Kid's Imagination

Puppet Showplace Theater

This delightfully homespun community hub showcases something completely unique in today’s world of Pixar animation: the precious art of puppetry. Shows for all ages range from the classic (Three Little Pigs) to the delightfully modern (Don’t Make Me Get Dressed). And with pay-what-you-can shows, puppet nights for adults and teens, and a creative residency for Black puppeteers to increase diversity in the industry, the theater is truly welcoming—and entertaining—for all.
