Another place to check out in downtown Atlanta is the Center for Puppetry Arts. In the past, I've been to the center for elementary and middle school field trips. I've always enjoyed going to these shows not just because of the puppets, but how the tell the story. In each puppet show that I've been to had an element of comedy to it. I think the reasons for including comedy are for the audience, which is children, and that puppets correlate with comedy. I don't believe that many people think of puppetry as art but it is. The acting, the storytelling with voices and in motion, and the singing is expressive art. The Center for Puppetry Arts isn't just for kids. They have adult workshops and their have a variety of puppet shows.
