Arm-of-the-Sea fuses visual storytelling with live music in original works of mask and puppet theater

Arm-of-the-Sea's mission is to create works of theater that inspire wonder, provoke thought, give joy and enrich the public imagination. We strive for a theater of visual poetry–handmade & archetypal–imbued with the urgencies of Humanity and the elemental passages of Nature. We believe that such Theater is essential nutrition and should be available to people of many ages and walks of life. Thus, we present a majority of our performances free-to-the-public— in non-traditional spaces and at outdoor festivals.

Summer tour shows and Tidewater Center performances have come to an end in for 2026 as winter creeps forward but we haven't forgotten our favorite summer memories 🎭

Our biggest moment every summer is the Esopus Creek Puppet Suite and this past August, the 2026 Suite presented a lively interpretation of current times of the impending AI age and the race to save our blue-ocean planet 🌎 These photos were captured by Michael Nelson.

There is still a chance to catch us live before the end of the year - keep your eyes open for upcoming performance dates for INTO THE LIGHT, our holiday show collaboration with the Vanaver Caravan 🕯️
