Greetings!

It’s summer in Minnesota, USA, and our search for talented Puppet Fest 2005 performers is in full swing.

Puppet Fest 2005 is the national festival of The Puppeteers of America. It will be held July 24-30, 2005 on the beautiful campus of Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. The University has two lovely theaters with wonderful sightlines for puppetry. The Pearson Theater seats 350, and the Music Auditorium seats 485. Both are equipped with state-of-the-art lighting and sound.

Our goal is to have these theaters resonate with some of the best puppetry performances to be found on any stage. That’s where you come in! I invite you to submit an application to perform at Puppet Fest 2005. If your troupe is selected, you will join a growing roster of exciting festival talent. Most performers will receive free registration and room and board. Additional financial compensation will often be available.
