The Puppetry Program is in its 10th year at Gen Con & we’re doing it up with awesome events! Don't miss it!

For the sixth year in a row, Gen Con will once again be offering a puppet program, with workshops and seminars on puppetry, both the performance of puppetry, and puppet construction, as well as entertainment events for all ages. The cornerstone event of this program will again be our Late Night Puppet Slam for adults.

*Ahem*
Please give a giant round of applause to the Gen Con Puppetry Program for having all of our "anchor" events submitted to Gen Con during the early events submission period! (These would be the events which happen at the same time & day every year.)

Plus lots more of your favorites are saved in the drafts & just need their times gelled up before they're submitted.

PLUS be on the lookout for lots of NEW events once the catalogue goes live! 😍 Only 185 days away!!!!

Lost at the Con? πŸ€” Don't worry, all puppetry program events are perfectly situated in the Marriott across from the Indiana Convention Center in Indiana Ballroom E... except for the Late Night Puppet Slam, which is probably hiding from the blazing light of day 😜!
