We specialize in storytelling with puppets and convention, event, and party talents. Created in 1990 by award-winning performer "Uncle" Wayne Daigrepont, Porta-Puppet Players began as a touring puppet theatre presenting original puppet musical comedies like "Louisiana Red Riding Hood" (Porta-Puppet's first musical!), "The Bepuzzled Pilgrim", "An Afternoon with Aesop," "The Toymaker's Helper", and

many more, performing a roster of over 30 shows. In 2000 a limited edition "cast recording" called The Music of Porta-Puppet Players was released. Beginning August 1st, 2014 Porta-Puppet Players will become PortaPlayers, and the puppet wing of PortaPlayers will now be Porta-Puppets.

This Saturday, April 2nd, we revive our hit original puppet musical-comedy from 2001, "An Afternoon with Aesop" for two public performances only: 10 am and 2 pm!
We are happy to have our old friend New Orleans theatre staple Kathleen Eason Dillon as one of our team of puppeteers! Kathleen appeared in dozens of shows across the city in the 90s, and is remembered for her roles in the "Joyce Unconfined" series.
She, along with veteran PPP actor Vatican Lokey demonstrated a few of the eighteen puppets involved in the production!
