Spork In Hand Puppet Slam #Columbia

As part of the Indie Grits Festival, our puppet slam will celebrate Southern puppetry that is off the beaten path. Since its inception six years ago, the festival has been growing every year, expanding to include not just independently produced Southern films, but also an indie craft fair, local bands, and a slow food event featuring local chefs.

STATUS: 1 Slam Per Year, Since 2012


PERFORMERS: TBA

VENUE: Trustus  Theater (150 Seats)
520 Lady St
Columbia, SC 29201

DETAILS: While the city of Columbia has been a great supporter of the family-friendly puppet performances put on by the Columbia Marionette Theatre, this would be the first puppet slam in the state of South Carolina.  We feel like Columbia is ready to see a new and exciting side of puppetry.  As there is not a large community of puppeteers in the state of South Carolina, we would primarily use any grant funding to help pay puppeteers to travel to Columbia.  While the Indie Grits Festival will take care of marketing and help with logistics, we will function autonomously.
