Welcome to the Spare Parts Puppet Theatre website.
On behalf of the entire team at Spare Parts Puppet Theatre I invite you to join us in an exciting programme of puppetry performances, our foyer exhibition, School of Puppetry workshops and master classes.
In April 2008 we hosted The 20th UNIMA World Puppetry Festival and our theme was Journeys this theme has inspired this very momentous year ahead and propelled us into many exciting journeys and adventures for 2009 including two international tours of The Arrival.
2009 will be full of adventure and thrills. The shows on your itinerary will take you to new and exciting places through puppetry, dance and movement, acting, circus, mask, digital technologies and some very beautiful puppets
Hold onto your bums as there is a bum thief about in April. Harness your imagination for an exhilarating ride through rugged terrain with The Man from Snowy River in June and be careful what you wish for in October as The Night Zoo brings you a magical menagerie of animals that will delight. Adventures from sea return with Blueback touring regionally with its watery wonders!
This is one very exciting year! I look forward to seeing you at one of our shows, workshops or just enjoying our foyer space!
Best wishes

The Velveteen Rabbit
A story that goes to the heart and art of puppetry where anything is possible if you invest it with enough belief and love. Based on the classic children’s story by Margery Williams, the velveteen rabbit is the much-cherished toy of a young boy.
To his family, it is just another soft toy, but the boy (and indeed the rabbit) know he is real. Is it just imagination or can the bond of love make something real?
A wise horse, some bossy bull dozers, a flying fairy and a toy box full of crazy, colourful, talking, walking toys make The Velveteen Rabbit a magical puppetry experience. Anybody with a favourite stuffed toy will be enchanted by this beloved classic.
The hottest puppet show in town!
