Our Kickstarter is Live!

For the month of March, please consider donating to our Kickstarter so that we can build out our next show, The Gift!

If we meet our campaign goal, your pledge will turn into a tax-deductible donation to our non-profit. If we don’t meet our goal, we can’t build out this show!

Even if you can’t come see our show this summer, you can still choose to donate with no reward, so that your donation will go to the building of our new show.

Please help us celebrate 25 years of Paperhand by backing our 25th Show Kickstarter TODAY!

Paperhand Puppet Intervention is now Paperhand Puppet Project.

We are a c3 non-profit and we need your support to keep us going.

Become a Monthly Sustainer Through Patreon

We are in need of life-giving, art-generating, and creative-culture-building support.

For the cost of a sandwich or less than a cup of coffee per month, you can be a part of the Paperhand Family.

By sustaining us monthly, you help us keep making puppet magic all year long!

  • If you are interested in donating your stock to us, you can do that through Stock Donator HERE.

  • IRS tax-deductible donations can be made to support our creative work through PayPal which you can find HERE or through Venmo, which can be found HERE.

  • Every summer in August and September, we perform our annual summer show, starting off at the historic Forest Theatre on UNC Chapel Hill’s campus. We also perform in other places! Check out the events calendar HERE.

  • Forgot to grab some t-shirts or cheap art at a show? Or looking for great gifts? Check out our store!

  • In the summer, starting around May, we prepare for our summer show and we need all hands on deck! Find out more HERE. We also need volunteers to help during our shows at our box office, cheap art table and ushering in guests. And we have a lot of parade events around NC and often need help carrying puppets. Be sure to look for volunteer calls on our social media!

  • Our 25th Annual Kickstarter is LIVE!

    Every year before our summer show, we offer amazing rewards for supporting us early. This helps us pay interns, get supplies, rent trucks and everything else that we need to make our shows happen!

    Thank you to the over 300 backers that helped us meet our goal this year!

  • Know of a grant or family foundation that you can recommend us to? We’re a non-profit and we would love to receive more grant funding so that we can do more in our community. You can recommend them to us by emailing development@paperhandpuppet.org.

  • Not everyone knows about Paperhand Puppet Project and that’s why your words, your recommendations, and your love helps us grow. We want to visit new places, bring our shows to people all over the world. Know someone at a venue or festival that should host us? Know of another non-profit that could use some art? Tell them about us and have them reach out to us!
