Puppets in the Spotlight at NYS Puppet Festival
The New York State Puppet Festival (NYSPF) is a gathering of international theatre artists. Started in 2018, the festival aims to introduce audiences to the world of contemporary American puppet artistry, as well as traditional forms from which they originated, while simultaneously putting Wyoming County on the map as an arts and cultural destination, by establishing year one of what we hope to be a biennial event. Events are held at various locations in downtown Perry, NY
