The Old Trout Puppet Workshop is a peculiar and wondrous and fragile thing that struggles to exist against great odds -- like, say, a very small flower in a nasty place full of rocks and cruel wind.  Except that a very small flower needs sun and a little water now and then whereas the Old Trout Puppet Workshop needs, well, money.

​

You might ask yourself: "Well, what do I get for my money?". We've thought about that, because it's a hard question. We said to ourselves: "Who are we? What can we offer? What are we good at?" That's when inspiration took over and we realized that we have a cool name, we make pretty good puppet shows and we're great at drinking coffee.

 

So, for your gracious support, here's the value-exchange proposition we offer:

1.      You get to "Be a Trout" alongside us in our quest to reimagine the art of puppetry.

2.      You are bestowed with a fancy fish name, listed on our website, without the hassle or embarrassment of an initiation ritual.

3.      Aaaannndd you also get a slip of paper that might keep the tax collector away.

 

We'd be ever so grateful for your support. Every little bit counts.
