Flyer Puppet by: Gyamfuah Sarfo-Mensah – @gyamsunderground

A FREE puppet community meeting for you! Join us to see cool puppets-in-process of creation; all stages of development are invited to share a community space for experimentation. Everyone is welcome! Bring a project, prototype, sketch, or idea, no matter how rough, or just come for the conversation! Stick around for a brief introduction to our hosts, Manual Cinema* !

What is PiPs?
PiPs is an informal gathering for testing out new puppet and object-based performances. Bring whatever you’re working on and get encouragement and feedback from other disciplines & puppet-folks! Puppets in Progress has sister branches in NYC at @greenfeatherorg & Minneapolis at @intheheartofthebeast.
