Wonderful to see Detroit’s PuppetART get a loving shout-out here. It’s one of the highlights, along with the McPharlin Collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts, not to be missed by the visiting devotee of puppetry.

From the start, we’ve been dedicated to Detroit as our Under the Poppy venue.  Our narrative events have traveled from Hart Plaza to the Russell Industrial Center to District VII Detroit, with our next appearance in February 2012 to take place in the heart of the city’s cultural center. Watch this space for that announcement . . .

And in national culture, puppets are seen to be having a moment – but of course, the moment is always theirs.
