The Bread and Puppet Theater, founded in 1963 by Peter Schumann in New York City, began with puppet shows addressing local community issues. Over the years, their performances evolved to include sculpture, music, dance, and language, with puppets growing in size and complexity.
Now based in Glover, Vermont, the company hosts annual outdoor festivals and tours both domestically and internationally, showcasing a range of puppetry productions from theater pieces to large-scale pageants involving community volunteers. As one of the oldest nonprofit political theater companies in the U.S., Bread and Puppet continues to engage audiences with thought-provoking performances and exhibitions of Peter Schumann's works.
