| Abstract: | The article focuses on Puppetworks, a puppet theater founded in 1980 by Nicolas Coppola, which is relocating from its longtime Park Slope location to a new 1,200-square-foot space within Industry City's Makers Guild in Brooklyn. After more than three decades at 338 6th Ave., Puppetworks will close its Park Slope venue with a final performance of "Pinocchio" on August 9 and reopen at Industry City with "Hansel & Gretel" on September 12. The move follows the sale of its former building to an undisclosed developer, and the theater is currently fundraising to support the relocation and build-out costs. Industry City’s managing director, Jim Somoza, emphasized the fit between Puppetworks’ puppet-making craft and the creative community at Makers Guild, which includes other experiential and arts-focused businesses.
