The cutest show ever is coming to Eclectic Box this week! San Francisco Youth Theatre presents 'Night, Sky: a play for babies and their caregivers.

Get immersed in an "interactive Spanish-bilingual storytelling experience where music, lights, movement, and patterns tell the story of Sky, a young child who discovers the universe at bedtime." With 8 shows in 3 days, there's a chance for everyone (and their baby, of course) to see the show and lose themselves in this adorable world.

National Puppetry Conference 2026! Last week was full of the coolest, weirdest, kindest, and most creative people this side of the Mississippi (and the other side too)! I’m truly grateful to everybody who let me leave my sweaty fingerprints on their art 🖐️. I never went to summer camp as a kid, and I have to say, I think this is even better. Thank you to all the grown up kids out there just bursting with love and inspiration — for puppets and each other 🩷

Here’s the week in emojis: ☀️🏖️👽🤡🎭👃💨🐕🐘🧙‍♀️🦐 🧡💙🐸

some of my faces last week: 🥹😴🤣🫣🫠🥲

Puppeteers are incredible! The Taxidermy Puppet Show was so well received at the O’Neill. Getting to work beside so many creatives on multiple different projects was such a joy. I’ll be on the puppet high for a long while yet. More roadkill puppets to come!
