The Shadow Box Theatre (SBT) – New York’s award-winning musical puppet theatre for children – is one of the city’s premiere arts resources. Founded in 1967, SBT operates with the mission to encourage creativity, multicultural sharing and the joy of theatre in the lives of children. Over 41 years, its programs have served more than 2,000,000 children with an integrated, three-fold program of puppet performances, arts-in-education, and storybooks with companion audio.
The Shadow Box Theatre’s productions are a unique blend of puppet and live multi-media theatre. Original scripts unfold, combining the energy of the talented performers with joyous singing, spirited dancing, extensive audience participation, and the special magic of puppetry. The puppets take on a life of their own: hand puppets, rod puppets, body puppets and – especially – Shadow Box’s own re-creation of the ancient Asian art of shadow puppetry.
For more information about The Shadow Box Theatre’s performances, workshops, publications or in-school storybook theatre programs, please call (212) 724-0677 or e-mail shadowboxtheatre@yahoo.com. SBT’s resident theatre is The Theatres at 45 Bleecker Street in Manhattan. A complete listing of schedule, programs and history can be found at www.shadowboxtheatre.org.
