An educational puppet troupe based in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We perform hundreds of shows each year. The mission of Kentucky Kids on the Block is to provide education and prevention through puppetry. The mission of South Central Kentucky Kids on the Block, Inc. is to provide ongoing education and prevention through Bunraku-style puppetry to children in grades K-6 and to the community at large, regarding handicap awareness, safety, medical conditions and social concerns. The aims of the program are: to foster the development of a better understanding and acceptance of differences in others; to encourage appropriate and positive decision making in difficult social situations; and to provide exposure to the ancient art form of puppet theater and the creative expression that comes through puppetry.
