Puppetry on Broadway is a collective of puppeteers, fabricators, and designers working on Broadway, on the West End, and on national tours. Their goal is to keep the art form of theatrical puppetry visible and vibrant by offering engaging content, artistic development and advocacy, and community events. Their inaugural show The Best of Broadway Puppetry was awarded two 54ony Awards by Purple Light Productions for Best Cabaret of the Year and Best Musical Direction (Joshua Turchin).

Produced and directed by Julia Schemmer.

Music direction Joshua Turchin.
