Our mission is to present, develop and support innovative theatrical work, to provide our audience with a broad interpretation of theater, and to encourage dialogue across ages and cultures. Sandglass is a touring company dedicated to the use of the puppet as a theatrical medium, often in collaboration with artists and composers to explore identity, memory and relationship to place. We are interested in other media, current issues and a range of ensemble theater forms and processes. We have been presenting guest artists to our community since 1996, including an annual series in our 60-seat barn theater and a biennial international puppet festival in local venues.

Located in a small village in southern Vermont, we serve a predominantly white, rural extended community of about 30,000. There is an interest in multicultural, urban and world affairs and much of our programming is focused on current issues around multicultural identity and diversity. We present an annual theme-based series, Voices of Diversity, which develops an extended dialogue around cultural identities that lasts over several weeks.
