Wise Fool Puppet Intervention
Wise Fool Puppet Intervention was a giant puppet theatre dedicated to environmental, political and social change based in San Francisco, CA. Founded by K. Ruby Blume, Amy Christian, and David Keyek, the group was active in the Bay Area from 1990-2007.
Wise Fool New Mexico was formed in 1999 when some members of the group relocated to Santa Fe, NM. We are different organizations with similar names – but all part of the same puppet family!
