We create and perform professional, hilarious and engaging puppet productions for any audience or occasion. All productions feature professional staging, lighting and sound, as well as TV/film quality puppets. The show content is often a mix of toe-tappin’ tunes with complex choreography and multi-part harmonies, coupled with jokes, skits and themed running gags.
It was awesome!!!! The show had a lot of music and held the kids' attention even though we had a lot of children with different abilities. A few kids tried to tear down the curtain, but they went with it and were super accommodating! Loved it!
We booked for a church party. The audience ranged from infants to elderly. The Christmas show was a huge hit with everyone
Very professional and easy to work with
So much fun! We enjoyed the show and hearing about the puppets that performed. Professional, arrived early and were a treat to host at our school!
They were very professional. The kids loved the puppets and were dancing to the music.

We’re Pittsburgh Puppet Works, the one-stop puppet show shop, serving Pittsburgh and the surrounding area, since 2004! In keeping true to the historical roots of puppetry in the U.S., crafty jokes and zany anecdotes are important components in our productions and we have many offerings that are “just for fun”! Puppets are such a powerful teaching tool, and we've found with the right blend of comedy and education, kids really grasp a variety of challenging issues and concepts.
