About Us

Squallis Puppeteers has existed for twenty five years and has always been dedicated to the handmade and the homespun. We have been making puppets, performing, and teaching children (and adults) in Louisville, Kentucky since 1997.

In 2003, Squallis Puppeteers Inc. became a nonprofit 501c-3 organization.

Our mission is to use the art of puppetry to free imaginations, create fantastic characters, and to tell the stories that are important to our community.

We help kids and adults imagine what is possible, create new worlds, and uncover the stories we all have to tell. Our puppets are handmade using everyday materials, demonstrating that creativity and innovation are always within reach.

Squallis is recognized as a positive and important part of the Louisville community, telling stories that challenge viewers to think, while reflecting values of citizenship, empathy and collaboration.
