Our work revolves around our love for the earth and all beings - & that includes immigrants. We believe that we need to eradicate greed, hate and fear - which we are seeing at a heightened level. We will do what we can to use our art & our platforms to protect immigrants, because they belong here.

@paperhandpuppet.org's 25th anniversary follows NC (and them, specifically) getting hammered by water from Helene and Chantal over the past year. Yet ... water remains "The Gift" (this year's show) we all depend on, represented in puppetry at the Forest Theater.

No one owns the Water. No one owns the Land. No one owns the sand. These are given by Our Mother. The Planet provides for Free. Only by the hands of the Greedy does the Earth require a Fee 🌺
