New England Puppet Arts
2025 Puppet Intensive The CAMP Edition
We’re taking NEPI on the road this year — hosted by the Canadian Academy of Mask and Puppetry in residence at the Old Trout Puppet Workshop in Calgary, Alberta. August 4–16.
The project is a recipient of a 2025 Jim Henson Foundation Workshop Grant and will be in residence at the Adams Theatre this coming Fall.
Émile Zola’s
The Belly of Paris
Inspired by Émile Zola’s novel set in 1850s Les Halles marketplace, The Belly of Paris is an audacious puppet show full of laughs, love affairs, art treatises, and ironic deaths-by-meat-pie — exploring the insatiable thirst for greed which modern capitalist society has all but baked into the mold.

We respectfully acknowledge that New England Puppet Arts works and plays on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans, who are the Indigenous peoples of this land. Following tremendous hardship after being forced from their valued homelands, they continued as a sovereign Tribal Nation in Wisconsin, which is where they reside today. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
