Puppet Fringe NYC

Puppet Fringe NYC is the United Nations of puppets.

🇦🇷🇧🇷🇨🇳🇨🇿🇨🇺🇩🇴🇮🇷🇮🇱🇨🇮🇲🇽🇰🇷🇪🇸🇵🇷🇹🇷🇺🇸

If you can’t see our common humanity in this, you’re not looking. Puppets make you smile. They are like a plume of water from a fire hydrant. When the puppets are playing or the water is running, nobody fights. Everyone has a good time.

There are performances, workshops, panels and art exhibitions. Some workshops are for kids. Others are for artisans. There are disability events. There is a puppet celebrity red carpet. Much of the festival is free. A few events are paid. During the pandemic, everything requires registration ~ even free events.

Most of the festival is at The Clemente, but there are a few events in other venues. The Clemente is the home of several theaters and galleries. The Festival is basically taking over the whole thing. This is the Lower East Side on strings, wires and fingers.

Live Puppet Fringe NYC

The Festival opens Wednesday, August 11 with workshops, art exhibitions, a dedication ceremony, celebrity puppet red carpet and performances at The Clemente in the Lower East Side.

Thursday continues at The Clemente. In the evening, there is a celebrity puppet red carpet and performance at the Museum of the City of New York in El Barrio East Harlem. Will there be puppet photographers? The night ends with a paid screening of the “Muppets Take Manhattan.”

Friday continues at The Clemente with workshops, panels, and performances. The night closes with a Spaghetti Dinner Cabaret Puppet Slam. Even puppets do spoken word. LOL. What a great combination of troubadour, hip-hop and puppet traditions. Seems like puppets do everything we do in life. Do they have puppet babies?

Saturday and Sunday are big performance days at The Clemente.
