ABOUT BOBBINDOCTRIN PUPPPET THEATRE
Bobbindoctrin Puppet Theatre has been producing experimental adult puppet performances for the benefit of the Houston community since 1995. With a history of introducing audiences to new forms of stagecraft using puppet techniques rarely touched upon by conventional theatre groups, Bobbindoctrin incorporates a mix of shadow, rod, hand, string and tabletop puppetry, as well as masks, in any given show. These varied traditions of puppetry are applied to presenting new and original works (not performed or published elsewhere) written explicitly for the puppet stage by local playwrights.
