The Connecticut Guild of Puppet will be hosting a Share Day at the UConn Puppet Arts Complex in Mansfield. Join us as we take a long at works in progress from the Puppet Arts Students and CT Guild Members. Members will have the chance to show off current or favorite projects and work followed by a tour of the Puppet Arts complex and a look at the some of the work  currently in progress by the students. Itʼs an opportunity to showoff your current work, see what others are doing in the field and support each other's ideas.   A brief membership meeting will also take place ahead of the share.
