String and Shadow Puppet Theater is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington and (sometimes) New Orleans. They use copious amounts of cardboard, fabric, and paper-mache to create giant outdoor puppet shows that tour, performing in parks and fields around the country.

 

"String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable pluck at the strings of universal wonder, innocence, and joy."

They are currently a company-in-residence at The Olympia Family Theater. Read more...
