People behind the puppets
Over the past 60 years, a huge range of designers have brought their unique puppet designs to life on the Little Angel Theatre stage.
In this new online series, Little Angel’s very own Little Angel puppet will meet and interview several different designers to find out more about their experiences of puppetry design and why they love working in the field.

Bertie
Bertie… is our brand new first-ever digital series!
Bertie is an environmental entertainment and education series or children aged 3 to 8 on LAT’s YouTube Channel. Children will learn about different environmental issues and consider how they can take their own steps to help combat climate change.
All puppets and set have been designed and made using found and recycled materials – LAT is committed to environmental sustainability in our actions as well as in our content.

What’s on
This Term
Whether it’s a show or a workshop that you’re after, we have lots of different activities you will need here.
11 – 19 February 2023 Family Workshops – The Instrumentals
Want to feel the funk with Little Angel Theatre? Come and make your own soulful, music-inspired puppet.
Join us at our studios on Sebbon Street, where we’ll be making and decorating our own Instrumentals inspired puppet. We’ll teach you how to make your puppet get into the groove, leaving you singing and dancing to your own rhythm.

23 – 27 January 2023
Puppet Construction Course – Table Top Puppets
This 5-day course looks at the puppet as a mechanism. Working from a prototype, students will make a puppeteer-friendly, robust, table top puppet – and along the way learn about the principles that underpin its construction.
