HERE is where ideas are fostered from early flares to passionately-realized productions, igniting artists and audiences alike. We provide the foundation, the connections, and the resources for creative processes to SPARK. On June 6, we’ll gather around the heat of collaboration and the power of live performance, honoring over two decades of puppetry at HERE. Join us for some kickin’ fare, a firey auction, & a fiercely jubilant bash!
