"Absolutely wonderful! The quality and imagination of the puppetry was unequaled by any performances we have had. The energy of the performers was contagious!" — Skowhegan Schools, Skowhegan, ME Awarded "Best Performance" at the 2015 National Puppetry Festival, Crabgrass Puppet Theatre has over thirty years of experience performing for children and family audiences in theaters, museums and elementary schools. They have twice been awarded the UNIMA Citation of Excellence, the highest puppetry honor in the United States. CPT has performed at the Smithsonian, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Philadelphia Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, and thousands of schools, theaters, and libraries.
