We're trying to preserve the history of Puppetry in the Northwest, and this seemed like a good way to help do it. We now have a complete library of newsletters spanning the entire period that we have had our own website, www.cappuppets.org, which went "on the air" on November 27th 2000.

We update this site with shows and events of interest on a regular basis. Clicking on the events button above will take you to the listing of Puppet Events in our area.
