Upcoming Events
The NCPG is dedicated to sharing and promoting the Puppet Arts with the greater National Capital Area through workshops, performances, and special events.
We partner beginners with experts
in the spirit of collaboration, communication, and community. We believe that puppetry fosters imagination and education while
telling the story of our human experience,
and are committed to supporting the growth
of artists with inclusivity and equity for all.
