Spare Parts Puppet Theatre |
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre is Australia's flagship puppetry company dedicated to the development and creation of the art form. Through puppetry we share stories that celebrate what it is to be human; connecting audiences across generations.
Over the course of our 35 year history we have entertained and enriched the lives of hundreds of thousands of audience members both in Australia and abroad.
Create, Make, Manipulate!
Our School of Puppetry program offers unique opportunities for young people to learn, connect and develop their puppetry skills.
We offer puppet making workshops each school holidays for children ages 4 - 12, engage community members through workshops held at libraries and local community events, and we run workshops with school students as incursions and excursions.

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre is based in Walyalup, Fremantle, and we respectfully acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional owners and custodians of the unceded land on which we work. As we tour our work across these vast lands, we pay our respect to all First Nations elders, past and present. We celebrate their continuing connection and contribution to culture, country and community, and thank all First Nations peoples for their wisdom in caring for the land, the sky, the rivers and the sea.
