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.

"FROM PAGE TO STAGE!"
Hello, National Capital Puppetry Guild!
Welcome to 2024!
Dino has been working hard to create something special for you this year…. All our slated workshops, make-a-thons, and potpourris will be unified under a central theme: “From Page to Stage!”
The intention is to provide you with the scaffolding you’ll need to take a performance piece from conception to reality, including the logistics that sometimes get overlooked from an educational angle.
The content we’re offering throughout 2024 is intended to be a connected whole, but every workshop and event can still be enjoyed as a standalone session. Choose your own growth adventure this year with the NCPG as your trusted guide! If you have the flicker of an idea you’ve been looking for a time to flesh out, this is the perfect excuse to slowly welcome it into the world, and we hope you’ll use the opportunities to ‘show and tell’ your progress at our virtual lobby after each event.
Outline of upcoming events, all at 1pm EST:
August 17 11am-7pm- DINO DAY CELEBRATION!
September 22- Getting unstuck
October 20- PUPPET BUILDING: JOINTS
November 17- Tech Riders & Press Kits (ELECTIONS)
December 8- Potpourri
