For 50+ years, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre has turned paper, paint, and purpose into something magical. But it’s never just about puppets. It’s about people — creating, learning, celebrating and imagining together. As HOBT prepares to leave its longtime home in the Avalon Theatre and reimagine its future, it’s doubling down on its mission — to make space that’s accessible, welcoming, and more connected to the community it serves. This isn’t the end of an era. It’s the next act — one filled with puppet libraries, community workshops, and public art that doesn’t just entertain, but empowers. Because in the heart of the beast… is us. 💛 #LakeOf10KLands #VisitLakeStreet #sponsored #HeartOfTheBeast #HOBT #MinneapolisArts #WhyArtMatters #CommunityThroughCreativity
