Regions & Local Guilds

Puppeteers of America encourages local puppet groups known as "guilds." The guilds are independently run with no financial or administrative connection to Puppeteers of America.

Puppet Guilds are communities of people with a common love and interest in the Art of Puppetry. The Guilds provide opportunities for puppet professionals, enthusiasts and those new to puppetry to meet regularly, enjoy performances, and learn puppet technique.

You can belong to PofA without belonging to a guild, and you can belong to a guild without belonging to PofA. If you are interested in forming a new guild, or have questions about guilds, please review the Guidelines for Guilds.

For a complete list of guild contact information, contact the PofA office.
