Barefoot Puppet Theatre tours award-winning programs to theatres, schools, libraries, children's museums and more.   Families, educators, librarians, and theatre directors give enthusiastic reviews of our programs and invite us back again and again.

Our shows feature contemporary adaptations of world folktales, classic tales with a twist, myths, and works based on true stories. Our scripts, puppets, music and sets are all original.  We know that children's shows need to be fun and interactive, so each script is carefully written to create a rhythm that balances the actions, words, and music of the production with the laughter and spontaneity of the children. Audiences love our innovative, hand-crafted puppets and beautifully built staging and scenery.

We are based in Richmond, Virginia, where we build all of our puppets and staging. We tour extensively and have performed all over the US and into Canada. All of our shows are self-contained and can adapt to a variety of spaces. We travel with a professional sound system and supplemental lighting, though we are always thrilled to perform in spaces with full technical support. We work hard to create a theatrical environment wherever we perform.
