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!
