Glass Half Full Theatre
and Trouble Puppet Theater Company bring you the third Austin Puppet
Incident, featuring short puppet acts for adults in a variety of styles,
from time-based puppet installation to Taiwanese Fighting Puppets
performing martial arts.
For this summer’s Incident,
we’ve relocated to the Fort, an indoor/outdoor arts venue. Short puppet
pieces will be performed all over the Fort, from the backyard stage to
under the kitchen sink. Two Showings. One Night Only!
The Austin Puppet Incident is a joint creation of Glass Half Full Theatre and Trouble Puppet Theater Company
to highlight short works of puppetry for adults on the Austin stage. We
encourage artists to participate in our reciprocal model, in which
artists work with and for each other in a variety of pieces. This
Incident will showcase local performers. The Incident is funded by a
grant from the Puppet Slam Network.
Glass Half Full Theatre
creates puppetry and physical theatre of objects and ideas, devising
visually driven narratives inspired by issues that concern humans across
the globe. Our goal is to share stories that are generous, not only in
their core content and narratives, but in their deeper invitations: to
imagine, to participate, to question, and to strive for meaning. The
company was formed in Paris, France in 2003 by a group of students from
the Ecole Internationale de Theatre, Jacques Lecoq, and was based in
Paris and Baltimore before settling in Austin, Texas in 2010. Glass
Half Full Theatre is a sponsored project of the Austin Creative Alliance
and is funded in part by the Jim Henson Foundation and the Creative
Fund. www.glasshalffulltheatre.com
Trouble Puppet Theater Company,
recipient of such B. Iden Payne Awards as Outstanding Director of a
Drama, Best Production of a Drama, Outstanding Original Script, and

of puppet theater for grownups. Trouble Puppet was created in 2004 by
Artistic Director Connor Hopkins and has in recent years been making
