The Lone Star Puppet Guild was established in 1972 for the advancement and improvement of the art of puppetry as a chartered guild of the Puppeteers of America, Inc., the national non-profit organization.

Guild membership includes noted local puppeteers, artists and craftsmen, educators, librarians, collectors and enthusiasts.

Meetings offer a variety of programs such as live performances, demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and audiovisual presentations. Subjects vary from hand puppets, marionettes, stop motion puppet animation, shadow puppets, etc.

Networking – whether one is a novice or a professional, the LSPG provides an opportunity to broaden horizons and gain expertise through the diverse talents of fellow guild members.

The Lone Star Puppet Guild has promoted puppetry in the Southwest by staging festivals at local venues where the public can participate in hands-on workshops, lecture demonstrations, attend performances and enjoy exhibits of puppets that showcase the works of puppeteers past and present. The guild has sponsored local performances by some of the world’s leading puppeteers.

For those with an interest in puppetry, the Lone Star Puppet Guild provides an opportunity to gain skills in the areas of puppet design, construction, production and manipulation.

All members are encouraged to participate in guild activities and projects to advance and promote the art of puppetry in the Southwest.
