Puppet Exhibit: Legends of American Puppetry

The Great Arizona Puppet Theater is working with California puppet collector Alan Cook to bring examples of the wide world of puppets to Phoenix. Mr. Cook has a collection of over 3000 puppets and GAPT is hosting a rotating exhibit of his puppets in our exhibit space. Currently showing are "Legends of American Puppetry" which features an array of puppets from some of America's foremost puppeteers including Tony Sarg (known by some as the "Father of American Puppetry"), Bil Baird (most famous for his work on the movie version of "The Sound of Music") and Bob Baker. The exhibit also features some of the puppets from the original Broadway production of "Carnival" and it's film counterpart, "Lili." "Legends of American Puppetry" will be on display until approximately the beginning of the new year; Alan will then be returning to AZ to bring "A World of Animals," featuring fabulous animal puppets from countries around the world.
