Bread and Puppet Theater

Bread and Puppet Theater was founded by Peter Schumann in 1963 on New York City’s Lower East Side. In 1974 the theater relocated to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with an old barn on the property being renovated into a museum for retired puppets. They do two kinds of shows - smaller inside shows and larger outside shows - but both kinds are used to discuss social issues of the day and meant to promote good.
A quote from Peter Schumann: “Bread and Puppet is based on bread baking and the not-for-sale distribution of bread at moments created by art, and these moments are created in opposition to capitalist culture and habit. Therefore the puppet show is not only a puppet show, but an eating-bread-together event.” (July 10, 2012, Grover, VT)
In another quote from Schumann, he explains that the aims of the theater should be to be seen as something necessary and nourishing like bread, rather than a commodity.
