Organizers of the 4th Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival announced today the line-up of contemporary puppet acts and artists from Chicago and the U.S. to be presented at venues large and small throughout the city, January 20-30, 2022.

Founded to establish Chicago as a center for the advancement of the art of puppetry, the citywide Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival will showcase an entertaining and eclectic array of puppet styles.
