Mission
DPC USES AWE-INSPIRING PUPPETRY AS A VEHICLE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW. DPC COLLABORATES WITH THE LOCAL COMMMUNITY TO CREATE INCLUSIVE SPACES THAT BRING TOGETHER DETROIT AND HAMTRAMCK RESIDENTS WITH ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE WORKS DPC CREATES AND CURATES IN ITS NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED VENUES OR IN VENUES ACROSS THE CITY HAVE BEEN SEEN BY OVER 25,000 AUDIENCE MEMBERS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS AND FOR FREE OR AT PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN PRICES. WITH DEDICATION TO ITS CRAFT, DPC IS COMMITTED TO SERVING THE COMMMUNITY AND TELLING STORIES THAT RESONATE WITH DPC'S NEIGHBORS, USING SOMETHING AS SMALL AS A PUPPET TO INSPIRE LARGER SOCIAL CHANGE. WORKING WITH MANY VENUES AND NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS TO CO-PRODUCE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCES AND EVENTS ACROSS THE CITY, DPC TELLS THE STORIES AROUND THE CITY WITH IMAGINATION AND TRUTH, EXPANDING PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT PUPPETRY CAN BE.
