For 25 years, Paperhand has brought rivers, dragons, grandmothers, and more to life in puppet form—sharing wonder, creativity, and activism with thousands of people across the Triangle and beyond.

Now, we need your help to keep the magic going for the next 25 years. Become a donor today—one-time or monthly—and help sustain puppet magic for gene
