The Incubator...
Where great ideas are hatched!
Are you working on a project, but can't get to that important next step? Do you have a great idea for a puppet show, but just don't know where to begin? The Incubator is a casual group that meets at the Puppet Showplace, to foster and encourage the development of creative ideas of emerging artists, veteran puppeteers, teachers, and puppet enthusiasts in a casual, informal environment. All ideas are welcome and show and tell is encouraged. For more information, click here.
