Puppet Slamwich Series

Black Cherry proudly presents our Puppet Slamwich series, an evening event for grown-ups of puppetry shorts and performance acts by a variety of artists and performers from far and near, along with a musical guest! We've been hosting these Puppet Slams four or five times a year since 2010, giving both brand new and seasoned puppeteers alike an outlet to share their work with our enthusiastic audiences!
Follow us on Facebook, Instagram or sign up for our email list to learn about upcoming Slams.
