The Puppet Co operates in cooperation with the National Park Service who administers Glen Echo Park for many artisans. This resource to the Washington DC area brings great music and literature to life for students, teachers and parents with live, fully-staged productions of some of the finest children's theater in the country. The Puppet Co has 18 productions in repertory that change approximately every six weeks with 10-16 performances each week, totalling more than 500 performances each year. About 6000 people attend the week-long display of new and favorite works. Hands-on areas offer attendees a chance to experiment with some of the safer puppetmaking materials.
Slide shows, an interactive computer presentation and demonstrations round out the activities.
In addition, we occasionally feature other puppet companies performances as part of our season.
