Bread and Puppet Theater, Political puppet theater in Glover, Vermont, United States
The theater combines giant puppets, music, and dance performances in outdoor spaces across a working farm spanning multiple acres of land.
Founded in 1963 by Peter Schumann in New York City, the theater moved to Vermont in 1974 and transformed a 140-year-old hay barn into its performance space.
Each performance concludes with the distribution of homemade bread to audience members, reinforcing the belief that art should be as fundamental as food.
The museum at 753 Heights Road in Glover displays numerous puppets from past performances and remains open during summer months from June through October.
The theater creates puppets ranging from small hand-operated figures to massive structures requiring multiple operators, incorporating both indoor and outdoor staging techniques.
Inception: 1963
