The International Puppet Fringe Festival NYC brings five days of in-person performances, plus virtual shows from around the world, workshops, short films and other events. 

There's an accompanying exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York called "Puppets of New York" that explores how rich traditions from elsewhere combined to make the city's varied puppetry scene. WNYC's Jennifer Vanasco has more.
