Rock the Arts Puppets is an award winning Ottawa, Ontario based puppet company. Their original show and unique hands-on workshop combination allows them to reach a wide age range in their audiences with their hand made puppets. The puppets of Creatureville teach humans about compassion, the power of choice and perseverance. Humans of all kinds and from all walks of life are welcome in Creatureville and the Rock the Arts Puppets show this in every performance. Both adults and children will laugh and learn by rockin' the art of puppetry and leave these shows with more of an understanding and appreciation of the puppetry art form!
