Out of the Shadows

A panel discussion with Leslee Asch, Cheryl Henson, and Friends

Sunday, October 3, 2021 at 4pm

Ellen Stewart Theatre

The Jim Henson Foundation’s International Festivals of Puppet Theater played a pivotal role in building and growing the field of contemporary puppet theater for adults in the United States. Bringing the most innovative puppet theater from around the world to New York City, they helped raise awareness about puppetry as a serious art form.

Join us for a panel in which Leslee Asch and Cheryl Henson discuss the Henson Festivals and Leslee’s book Out of the Shadows: The Henson Festivals and Their Impact on Contemporary Puppet Theater. The panel also features Nehprii Amenii, Federico Restrepo, and Richard Termine, who will all add their unique perspectives on the Festivals and the subsequent developments in the field of puppetry.

Leslee Asch and Cheryl Henson will be available for a book signing immediately following the panel.

Please Note: La MaMa requires proof of Covid-19 vaccination and photo id for entry into the building and to attend this performance. Masks must be worn inside at all times.
