Support a Puppet

Puppet University

When classrooms are open, the learning begins – but not just for the kids!

Madcap puppets have to brush up on their skills, too, if they want to keep bringing amusingly eccentric education to audiences around the country. And you can help!

After 30 years in the theater business, Madcap’s veteran puppets have decided it is time to train the next generation of puppet actors. Madcap’s infamous puppet Parker opened Puppet University and is enrolling students now.

You can help Parker and Madcap by sponsoring a puppet’s education. Your gift will help prepare a puppet for life as a touring actor, entertaining children of all ages.

By sponsoring a puppet’s studies, you are improving the lives of puppets and bringing laughter and joy to thousands of Madcap fans. And by thousands, we mean 200,000 annually. What a great investment in education.
