The Festival thanks last years' sponsors: Breadworks, the Pretzel Shop, the Carson St. Deli, the Church Brew Works, and the Beehive for their donations of delicious food and drink for the performers and staff. The Black Sheep Puppet Festival is an annual event that brings together local and national puppet companies for performances and educational opportunities. The Black Sheep is an international showcase of contemporary innovations in puppetry as an art form and performance medium. It is well known in the field for its willingness to embrace bold experimentation and ability to challenge the boundaries of this ancient and traditional art. Now in its tenth year, it is also one of the longest and steadiest festivals in the world. The festival includes puppet performances and educational workshops. Demonstrations of various types of puppets by collectors and artists will be featured at the gallery opening and periodically throughout the festival. The festival will also present a networking and information-gathering opportunity for an artist who wishes to pursue a career in puppetry. Our goal is to bring the art of puppetry, with all of its potential and beauty, intellect and fun to the Pittsburgh community. | |||||||
