About

Puppet Shows and Visual Theatre

At Possibly Puppets, our mission is to create and perform a range of puppet styles to expand people's understanding of family-friendly puppetry dealing with issues of loss, hope and transformation. We aim to bring beauty and delight through live storytelling. We provide San Francisco Bay Area with a variety of puppet shows and styles, ranging from paper toy theater to table-top puppetry to mask work. With the belief that anything has the potential to inspire a puppet show, we explore the endless possibilities of the broad puppet genre. We are committed to our role as caretakers of the earth and use recycled/ reclaimed materials to create our work as often as we can. We work mostly in paper and fabric, exploring the books arts as sets and scenes. The ingredients of our work are: PLAY, Color and Story as well as: trial and error, research, and collaboration with fellow artists, designers, storytellers and children. The work is lead by puppet artist Risa Lenore with other collaborators coming and going as determined by each project. This more contemporary, experimental work was born out of years of work bringing puppet shows, storytelling and theatre to young audiences with Jelly Jam Time.
