We saw the National Marionette Theatre at this adorable theatre, and were very pleased with the quality of the show and very reasonable priced tickets. They have a rotating array of puppet shows so best to check out the calendar of events. Highly recommended. More

The shows are silly and perfect for your 5-8 year old. They always explain the rules before each show starts. If your child starts acting up in the middle of a performance and you have to leave, it's really easy and no big deal. More

Frequent visits we have made to the Showplace to see shows for the kids and for the adults. Always a great experience. National, International, and Local Favorite puppeteers appear each week. Sundays are great as parking is usually easily available.. Greenline T stop is just across the street. More

The 50 minute performance included two short puppet plays, and then a very interesting demonstration by the puppeteer on how he minipulates the puppets. They staff does a really good job of making sure the experience is fun... More

The Puppet Showplace Theatre is a great place to bring the family for lots of fun. For adults, they also have adult shows that they may enjoy a little more than the family shows, but all around, it is awesome! Great Atmosphere, Friendly People! A+++ More
