Spare Parts Puppet Theatre

Spare Parts Puppet Theatre is Australia's flagship puppetry company and a driving force in the puppetry landscape in Australia since 1981. Through puppetry we share stories that celebrate what it is to be human; connecting audiences across generations. Over the course of our 38 year history we have entertained and enriched the lives of tens of thousands of audiences members both in Australia and abroad. The company is lead by Artistic Director Philip Mitchell and Associate Director Michael Barlow who work with artists from our well-established and ever-growing pool of Company Associates offering skills in writing, design & performance for puppetry. Our annual artistic program includes performances at our home theatre in Fremantle, touring to schools, theatres and festivals across Australia and abroad, puppetry workshops for children and adults, and artists training and development programs. Through our various programs we have an annual audience and participant reach of more than 100,000 people locally, nationally and internationally.
