The Detroit Puppet Company has been delighting audiences with their awe-inspiring puppetry and performances since 2015. Founded by Carrie Morris, this grassroots organization has a mission to use the art of puppetry as a vehicle towards a better tomorrow.

In this small-scale puppet show titled Reality Revolution: The Kids Vote, by Oliver Pookrum, students will learn about the process of voting and why it’s important to have their voices heard. After the show, students participate in a hands-on workshop, where they will make their own hand puppets to take back to the classroom for even more puppet adventures!

To complement this School Day Performance, our UMS Learning Guide offers context about the artists, puppetry, and elections.
