Since 1978, the Center has introduced millions of visitors to the wonder and art of puppetry and has touched the lives of many through enchanting performances, curriculum-based workshops, and the hands-on museum galleries, as well as digital learning and outreach programs. The Center for Puppetry Arts’ mission is to inspire imagination, education and community through the global art of puppetry.

Little Angel Theatre is a home for puppetry. Since its doors first opened in 1961 the theatre has been dedicated to creating and sharing inspiring stories. Puppetry is at the heart of this innovative theatre, from igniting the imaginations of the youngest minds to equipping tomorrow’s puppeteers with the tools they need to succeed. As well as an internationally recognised theatre with productions touring throughout the UK and across the globe, Little Angel Theatre also has its roots in Islington, and works with its local, diverse community to break down barriers to arts engagement so all can benefit and enjoy this remarkable art form. “Little Angel is nothing less than an icon of north London childhood” Time Out, 2016 Drawing on our extensive puppetry training programmes, we now offer tailor-made, puppetry focused courses for businesses of all sorts.
