Rough House’s work collides contemporary puppetry with physical theater, music, visual arts, and an insatiable taste for experimentation.</div><div><br></div><div>Rough House Puppet Arts has celebrates and fosters the puppet community through a combination of public workshops, artist incubation (Puppets-in-Progress), and performances with regular puppet slams (Nasty, Brutish & Short), working towards a vision of Chicago as a national hub of contemporary puppet theater comprising a diverse and ever-growing community of artists, all connected through our mutual love of puppet arts.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Follow us on social media:</div><div>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/roughpuppets">https://www.instagram.com/roughpuppets</a></div><div>Facebook:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Rough.House.Puppets">https://www.facebook.com/Rough.House.Puppets</a></div><div><br></div>
