✨ Bread & Puppet in Glover, VT ✨

Just spent a bold, soul-stirring day at the legendary Bread & Puppet Theater in Glover, Vermont. This iconic puppet company—founded in NYC in the early ’60s by Peter & Elka Schumann—moved to a 140‑year‑old dairy farm here in the 1970s and turned it into a giant museum of papier‑mâché wonders  .

Think towering puppets, hand-forged masks, protest pageants, and direct‑to‑heart political storytelling—all rooted in a “Cheap Art” manifesto where art is as essential as bread  . And yes—they still bake and share fresh sourdough with the audience as part of the ritual.

The museum, tucked into a drafty old barn, showcases decades of puppetry history—giant Mother Earth figures, silent storytellers, and a communal art vibe that feels both ancient and radical .
If you’re drawn to art that’s visceral, political, and community‑rooted, this place is a must‑see. 🍞🎭
