The Squallis Puppeteers are a Louisville, Kentucky based puppetry troupe. The troupe was founded by Jess Myers, Nora, and Carrie Christenson in 1997. Their performances include a yearly Fool's Day Bash, held on April Fools' Day. They became a non-profit organization in 2003. Squallis uses donations, grants, and everyday materials to form together huge, creative, 7-feet-tall extravagant puppets as well as puppet shows.
On the first Saturday of every month, Squallis opens its doors to the public, where they offer a family-friendly environment, puppet performance, and a kids puppet making workshop.
