The Puppeteers of America holds national festivals on odd-numbered years. On even numbered years, each region holds its own regional festival. This year, the Northwest region is holding a "rolling" regional festival in different northwest guild cities on different dates spread throughout 2008.
Our Diamonds to Duct Tape celebrates not only the "rolling" regional Festival but also the
P of A National Day of Puppetry.

Check out our puppet link page by clicking here. We've got a list of over 100 links to other puppet sites worldwide, arranged by country.

If that isn't enough links for you, check the listing for "Takey" under France. He's got over 2,200 puppet sites listed on his links page.

We're trying to preserve the history of Puppetry
in the Northwest, and placing our newsletters
on-line seemed like a good way to help do it.

We now have a complete library of our newsletters on-line in .pdf format spanning the entire period we have had our own website, www.cappuppets.org, which went "on the air" on November 27th 2000.
To go to the newsletter page, click here.

We update this site with shows and events of interest on a regular basis. To see the page of puppet-related events here in the Portland Oregon metro area, click here.

Thanks for stopping by and please contact us if you have any questions about puppetry in the great Northwest.

Thanks,

Jason
