Tour Schedule

Spring Tour: March 29-April 21, 2024

Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce that we will kick off our 61st year by traversing the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard with a brand-new play created with our director, Peter Schumann, for the exact moment at hand. Of the show–The Hope Principle Show: Citizens’ Shame and Hope in the Time of Genocide–director Peter Schumann says, “With mother dirt prologue, citizen despair gymnastics, massmurder victim’s traditional dance of death celebration, absentee humanity dance. Featuring a flock of disaster ravens and hope principle caribou and exorcism rites for the genociders.”

The company will play cities from Rutland, VT to Washington, DC, with the full tour schedule available at BreadAndPuppet.org/Tour. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.

Ticket note: We at Bread and Puppet aim for money never to be an obstacle to seeing our shows. Anywhere that B&P is ticketing a show ourselves (as in the tickets are for sale on our website directly), no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please email [email protected] and we will happily assist you.
