Little Slam on the Prairie Puppet Performance

The Uplifting Puppet Co. is proud to present the return of Little Slam on the Prairie. This year’s event is hosted at the Des Moines Art Center as part of December Social Saturday: Make Believe. This eclectic afternoon of short-form puppetry celebrates innovation, storytelling, and creative connection. Part of the national Puppet Slam Network, the show invites established puppeteers, artists new to puppetry, and theatre-makers to explore and perform.
