Bread and Puppet Theater

Bread and Puppet Theater is a puppetry and performance company founded in 1961 in Vermont, known for its large-scale puppet shows that blend political activism with artistic expression. Their productions often address social issues, promoting peace, justice, and community engagement through visually striking, often satirical puppet art. Rooted in a DIY ethos, they use simple materials like papier-mâché and recycled objects, emphasizing accessibility and grassroots activism. The theater aims to inspire critical thinking and social change by combining humor, art, and protest in ways that resonate across diverse audiences.
