Based in New York City, Great Small Works produces performance works on a wide variety of scales, including outdoor pageants with giant puppets and hundreds of performers.

Great Small Works has also created dozens of original, miniature “toy theater” spectacles. They took a deep dive into the 19th century parlor form, And there they found the compressed power of the miniature.

Their productions consistently reinvent ancient, popular theater techniques. They value the beauty and potency of puppet theater.

Drawing on folk, avant-garde, and visual theater traditions, Great Small Works addresses contemporary issues. They perform in theaters, schools, galleries, streets, and other community centers.

For decades Great Small Works has hosted monthly cabaret evenings where the community breaks bread and is treated to an eclectic mix of cutting edge performance, pageantry, music, film, and dance.

Great Small Works workshops offer participants of all ages and backgrounds the ideas, theatrical forms, and artistic skills to tell their own stories.
