StoneLion Puppet Theatre, in partnership with the National WWI Museum and Memorial, is
proud to announce “Puppet a Glow, and Show” a free illuminated art and puppet festival that will
light up Kansas City this fall with the addition of a giant illuminated puppet show.
Join us Friday or Saturday, November 14-15, 2025, on the grounds of the Museum and
Memorial on the North side for an unforgettable night of glowing art installations, aerialists, fire
performers, roving entertainers, interactive crafts, local food trucks, music, hot air balloon glow
and a dazzling illuminated giant puppet show.
Each evening concludes with an all-new giant illuminated puppet show: The Fable of the
Long Spoons, performed live on the Museum and Memorial North Plaza. This community-driven
performance tells a timeless tale—and highlights the importance of compassion and
cooperation—brought to life with glowing puppets, vibrant storytelling and the talent of local
performers.
“This is more than a performance—it’s a Kansas City tradition that brings people
together under the stars with art, light and meaning,” said Heather Loewenstein,
Artistic Director at StoneLion Puppet Theatre.
