Puppets & Prose

A reading series that brings the literary and theatre worlds together. 



A Literary Salon with a puppet twist


Do you love going to literary readings and salons, hearing writers and poets read their poems, essays and fiction?
Do you love watching puppets? Have you ever wanted a puppet to read a poem to you?

Well this is the literary reading series FOR YOU! The evening includes writers & storytellers alongside special puppet guests sharing their new work.

Puppets & Prose started in 2020 as a national collaboration between Rogue, the LA Guild of Puppetry and PEN America which resulted in 39 short films that brought together visual artists and emerging writers across the country.
