Spare Parts Puppet Theatre, Puppet theatre in Fremantle, Australia.
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre is a puppet theatre located in Fremantle that operates from a limestone building. The two-story structure with a corrugated iron roof sits across from Fremantle railway station near Pioneer Park.
The theatre was founded in 1981 by Peter Wilson, Cathryn Robinson, and Beverley Campbell-Jackson as a touring company across Western Australia. It later developed into an established venue with a permanent home in Fremantle.
The theatre has been central to children's entertainment in the region for decades. Visitors encounter puppet performances created to connect with audiences ranging from very young children to adults.
The theatre presents shows throughout the year for different age groups, with special programs designed for young children. Visitors should check ahead to see what is playing, as the schedule changes by season.
In 2022 the theatre created Australia's first theatre-based NFT collection and designed a digital puppet that gained popularity on social media. This project blends traditional puppet artistry with modern digital technology.
