1202Puppets: Puppet Making & Performance
February 21

Get ready for a day of imagination at the Center. On February 21, 1202Puppets brings two interactive performances to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Designed to spark curiosity and confidence, this special event invites children and families to experience the magic of live puppetry in a playful, meaningful, and unforgettable way.
Following the performance, children will have the opportunity to take part in puppet making, transforming inspiration into creation. This interactive element extends the storytelling experience beyond the stage, giving children a tangible, creative way to express themselves. 1202Puppets’ Puppet Making & Performance is included with museum admission.
