By popular demand, the Connecticut Guild of Puppetry will pay a return visit to the format that wowed audiences and performers alike at last year’s fundraiser. So You Want to Be a Puppeteer--Season 3! will be a reality-inspired puppet vaudeville show. A variety of puppet styles will be performed in vignettes by guest artists.
A panel of celebrity puppeteers--and puppets--will provide ongoing commentary during the evening’s entertainment. They will include Pam Arciero and Grundgetta, Marty Robinson and Telly, and Jen Barnhardt from Avenue Q.
The winning act will be determined by audience ballot and will receive the $200 John E. Miller Prize. In the event of a tie, the judges will determine the winner.

A light buffet dinner will be served. Silent and Scotch auctions will help to provide an entertaining and memorable evening for performers and audience members alike.
Proceeds raised at this event will provide a scholarship for a deserving puppeteer to attend the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Conn., in June.
