What is String & Shadow?
Based in Olympia, Washington, String & Shadow has become beloved throughout the Pacific Northwest for their imaginative productions that blend puppetry, circus arts, live theater, and fantasy into immersive experiences for kids and adults alike. Their performances are joyful, inventive, visually stunning, and deeply engaging for audiences of every generation.
Each summer, they create a giant outdoor touring puppet show that weaves together a variety of puppetry styles, circus arts, and original music. With copious amounts of cardboard, fabric, and paper-mache, String & Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable aim to pluck at the strings of universal wonder, innocence, and joy. Formed in the summer of 2020 to bring a Drive-In puppet show to their community in lock-down, String & Shadow has gone on to create five original full length shows and to tour their shows throughout Washington. Oregon, California, Montana, and Utah.
