Sandglass is dedicated to the arts of theater and puppetry as a means of exploring contemporary issues, inspiring dialogue, and sparking wonder. We create original ensemble performances and collaborations, present diverse theater artists, produce events that serve our communities, and teach our art.

Since 1982, the company’s productions have toured internationally in nearly 30 countries, performing in theaters, festivals and cultural institutions and winning numerous international prizes.

Sandglass Theater produces works for both adult audiences and young audiences—two repertoires that tour separately and together. Sandglass also performs and teaches in its own 60-seat renovated barn theater in Putney, Vermont. Sandglass Theater is available for workshops and residencies and teaches a 2-week intensive training program each summer.

Sandglass Theater (Sandglass Center for Puppetry and Theater Research) is a not-for-profit organization. Sandglass Theater is a member of the Network of Ensemble Theaters and the National Performance Network.

Performers from the Sandglass Theater perform "Feral." The origins of the piece began with the question: What happens when the wolf inside you howls?
