Piccadilly Puppets is a proud recipient of funding from the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs! We provide puppet performances throughout the City of Atlanta, and the funds help us to cover some expenses, so that we can keep our shows affordable. Funding also enables us to offer discounts to schools that receive Title One funding and other venues in those neighborhoods (such as libraries), and occasionally offer free shows in underserved parts of the city.
Thank you so much to the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs for helping us to educate and entertain children in Atlanta through the art of puppetry!
We will be performing Imagination Station at the Fayetteville Library on Monday, July 20 at 10:00 am. This playful variety show features puppets, simple objects, music, storytelling and lots of audience participation! The children will discover that a little bit of imagination will go a long way.
