Carolina Puppet Theatre brings a charming blend of storytelling, song, and audience participation to families across North Carolina. Led by Carolyn Johnson (Ms. Poly) and Helen Dawkins (Ms. Ester), this longtime puppet troupe captivates audiences with Bartlet the puppet star and a signature, interactive performance style. While public shows in the Triangle wind down, the troupe continues to inspire through school programs and private events, keeping the magic of puppetry alive in communities from Raleigh to Wake Forest.
