Hi there!  I'm Terrence Burke, the guy behind the Wump Mucket Puppets.  I was bitten by the "puppet bug" as a boy growing up in the Boston area in the mid-1960s and was captivated by the characters on the TV programs Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Captain Kangaroo, and Sesame Street.  

​

Puppetry popped back into my life in 2001.  I found that it's a fun way to combine my interests in theatre, music, and puppet design.   My mission as an artist is to share laughter and joy with our world. 

​

The puppets performed their first show in 2010, in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Northside.  Since then, I have performed my original stories, songs, and silliness for thousands of children at libraries, schools, museums, and festivals.

​

Over the years, Wump Mucket Puppets have appeared on numerous guest segments on the radio and television.  We were featured on PBS too!

​

Thank you for your interest in my puppetry.  I hope to see you at one of our shows or workshops.

​

PUPPETS ROCK!
