History
The Puppet Showplace Theater was founded on June 2, 1974 by teacher and puppeteer Mary Putnam Churchill. She originally intended to perform mainly her own puppet shows, but the storefront theater soon attracted other puppeteers from around New England and farther. In 1980 the theater moved next door, into the historic Building at 30-34 Station Street across from the Brookline Village (MBTA station), where it is currently housed.
