About us
Pittsburgh Puppet Works
We’re Pittsburgh Puppet Works, the one-stop puppet show shop, serving Pittsburgh and locations throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania, since 2004! In keeping true to the historical roots of puppetry in the U.S., crafty jokes and zany anecdotes are important components in our productions. Puppets are such a powerful teaching tool, and we’ve found with the right blend of comedy and education, kids really grasp a variety of challenging issues and concepts. We are constantly trying to expand our show portfolio, so please feel free to browse around and check out everything we have to offer. Enjoy!
