This showcase is a mature performance for all ages.

With support from the Puppet Slam Network, the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, housed in the historic theatre in Central Park, will be presenting a digital Puppet Slam, “Puppet Time,” originally planned to be performed live during Open House NY weekend, brought to you virtually from various sites in Central Park.
