Biographical NoteReturn to Top
From 1934-1941 WPA government programs sponsored thousands of puppet shows around the country. In 1934 Glenn Hughes began a puppetry department at the University of Washington in Seattle. By the 1940s, Glenn Hughes’s program at the University of Washington developed one of the finest educational programs in the nation for children’s theater. In 1936 the U of W Puppeteers became the first touring unit of the theater department, playing to more than 27,000 youngsters annually until 1959.
