The Boston Area Guild of Puppetry is a chartered guild of the Puppeteers of America. We are a collection of puppeteers and puppet enthusiasts ranging from professional performers and artists to educators and hobbyists, located throughout upper New England. We hold meetings several times a year at the Puppet Showplace Theatre, to share knowledge and inspiration, and to offer support to other puppeteers.

We offer workshops, consultations and support for those interested in puppetry. We have members who specialize in custom-made puppets. We also have members who offer performances at a variety of venues such as schools, community centers, and birthday parties. Learn more about BAGOP.
