Admission $10–$30 sliding scale (No One Turned Away). September 12 & 13 at Studio 34, two nights only of variety short form puppet shows! Music starts at 8:30 PM, show starts at 9:00 PM. Masks required, thank you!


Puppetry is all the rage in Philadelphia once again, and Studio 34 is back on the map as a hub for puppeteers to show their work. Come bask in the warm glow of our stage for two nights of beautiful puppets! This is the special September Fringe-Fest installment of monthly puppet slams where a smorgasbord of puppeteers will perform their acts. There are so many things you can do with puppets! Will you laugh? Will you shed a tear? You will definitely be amazed. And, maybe, you will see a shooting star in the clear night sky on your way out the door...no promises on that one though!


Puppet slams are traditionally evenings for an adult audience.

Studio 34 is West Philly’s Fringe Hub and a mixed-use yoga/healing/arts spot all year round! Named for the trolley that stops out front, we host art, comedy, dance, drag, music, poetry, puppetry and theatre in our gallery, lounge, and studio spaces, as well as
holistic services, 30+ weekly classes, and a wide array of community happenings. Our 2025 Fringe roster features dozens of our favorite artists from all over Philly and around the country, ready to transcend the bounds of DIY performance. Come see one show and stay for the next, all under one roof on vibrant Baltimore Avenue.

About the Artist

The Philly puppet slams are hosted and organized collectively by local puppeteers.  Although we're not a collective (yet), we are a bunch of folks who believe in the power and transformation of live handmade storytelling, and who are coordinating to have more of that in our city.
