Supporting children’s literacy and art appreciation.
East Lyme Puppetry Project Inc. is a nonprofit group of local artists and teachers. Giving to our community is our main goal. Together we bring local puppetry troupes, kids puppetry art workshops and more to Southeastern Connecticut. Collaborating with other charities like Care and Share help us teach not only arts and culture, but also the importance of community.

Our goal is to encourage student creativity, appreciation of the arts and the enjoyment of collaboration. Because of this, we work to develop and implement student workshops that emphasize script writing, set design, sound, lighting, stages, puppet building and production.
