Meet the Warm Wind Theatre family

The Hearts Behind the Magic

The story of Warm Wind Puppet Theatre began in 1996 with a simple dream: to bring joy, kindness, and inspiration to children and adults through the magical art of puppetry.

For more than twenty years, our performances became part of charitable, cultural, and educational programs. We brought our stories to preschools, schools, hospitals, community centers, social institutions, and public festivals, always hoping to offer every audience a little light, hope, and a touch of real magic.

One of the defining productions in the theatre’s history was The Little Cowherd Gopal and King Kamsa. This production introduced thousands of people to the rich world of ancient Indian culture, traditional storytelling, and timeless values. Explore the story, characters, photographs, and history of this production.

After each performance, families were invited to enjoy traditional Indian sweets, discover books, and take part in creative workshops, transforming every performance into a warm and memorable community gathering.

Our productions were intentionally intimate, allowing audiences to experience a unique atmosphere of personal connection, trust, and wonder.

Today, a new chapter begins

We lovingly preserve everything that made our theatre special while opening our doors to a new generation of children and families.

Through timeless stories, beautiful puppetry, music, creativity, and imagination, we continue our mission of creating experiences that inspire, unite, and remain in people's hearts for years to come.

With love,
The Warm Wind Theatre Family
