Welcome to the Puppet House Theater

Rinaldo prepares for battle.

Stony Creek's unique, year-round performing arts center presents a wide variety of plays, musicals, dinner theater, puppet shows and children's programs. We are housed in a quaint, century-old theater. Our rare Sicilian hand-made puppets and the shows in which they star have been seen by audiences since 1963.

Artist's conception of the Puppet House by Robert Larise

Our theater is part of the scenic Connecticut shoreline town of Stony Creek, a waterside community in the town of Branford. If you are planning a trip here, the famed Thimble Islands are just a stone's throw away. The Thimbles are a chain of small islands in the Long Island Sound. They are rich with history and local lore and today many are inhabited by seasonal owners.

The village of Stony Creek is proud of its community, its Islands and its Puppet House Theater, as well as many interesting area attractions. Our community is diverse, even odd from time to time, a perfect setting for a theater that presents classics to new works, and, Sicilian puppet shows to musical comedies.

Come visit our little town, see a show, take a tour, have some lunch. Look around our website and and see what the Puppet House Theater has to offer.
