About Upfront Puppet Theatre

Aladdin at Upfront Puppet TheatreUpfront production of Aladdin

Upfront Arts Ltd. was formed as a not-for-profit organisation in 2003 by John and Elaine Parkinson to develop the art form of puppetry and to create a centre of creativity and excellence for the art form.

Located near Penrith, Cumbria, Upfront is one of only four dedicated puppet theatres in England and has its own theatre building and workshops.

In 2010 the company designed a new building, raised funding and built a new 144 seat venue during 2012. The theatre is designed with specific resources for puppetry as well as for other general use as a venue.Upfront Puppet Theatre Auditorium
Freelance puppeteers and makers are employed for each production. They work with the company to create and perform the shows. Since the company was formed there have been productions every year at Christmas, Summer and Easter.Upfront on tour in Scarborough
