The Simpich Showcase Theatre
is one of the United States' only performance facilities
dedicated to presenting year-round string-puppet
productions for adult and family audiences. Featuring
original plays from the Simpich Marionette Repertoire,
the intimate 70 seat theatre plays host to a variety of
stories and subject matter, from award winning
productions such as The Secret Garden, Hans Christian
Andersen Storybook and Great Expectations to
original plays by puppeteer David Simpich, as well as
Christmas, Easter and other seasonal offerings. The
adjoining Simpich Museum also houses rotating exhibits
of many marionettes from the Simpich performances,
displayed in elaborate settings.
