The CT Guild of Puppetry is finishing off it’s 50th Anniversary and what better place to do it then the National Puppetry Conference!
Join us for our Annual Meeting of the Connecticut Guild of Puppetry, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the CT Puppetry Fellowship, the group that would ultimate become the CT Guild of Puppetry.
We will host our Annual Potluck Picnic and Membership Meeting on the patio of Blue Gene’s Pub at the historic Eugene O’Neill Theater Center campus. Everyone is encouraged to bring a side dish or a desert to share. The Guild will provide sandwich fixings and rolls. Elections for next year’s slate of officers will also be held at this time. Guild t-shirts will be available for purchase.
Then, if you like, stay through the evening to enjoy the 2025 National Puppetry Conference Performances. Tickets for the performances tend to go pretty fast so please purchase them as soon as possible if you plan on staying. Tickets can be purchased starting May 31st by calling the O’Neill box office at 203.443.5378 or online at Tickets & Information | Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, Waterford CT.
