Giant puppet encounters
Borrow a giant puppet—or hire its puppeteer
Puppets for Pittsburgh / Cheryl Capezzuti
Cheryl Capezzuti’s giant-puppet lending project explicitly supplies puppeteers and puppet wranglers for events that lack their own volunteers. Her people-powered creations include fantastical creatures and puppet-mobiles; clients can also inquire about commissioned work.
Current location note / listed area: Pittsburgh / Braddock, Pennsylvania; additional travel by inquiry
This is an artist-led event service alongside a public lending program, not a standard wedding package. Confirm the available characters, staffing, transport, clearance and weather plan. Borrowing normally uses an Allegheny County Library Association card; other arrangements require direct confirmation.
