HOMAGE TO THE PUPPET THEATRE

by

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART BY TRACEY MOCA REF-240983-1

According to the artist: “My name is Tracey Moca or HeArt Designs. I’m an artist from Dublin and a graduate of NCAD. I create murals and paintings with acrylic on wood including street art for Mad About Galway, Creative Ireland, 20×20 Women In Sport.”

Sadly, the Lambert Puppet Theatre no longer exists.

Here’s a brief overview of its history:

Founded in 1972 by Eugene Lambert and his family, it was Ireland’s only purpose-built puppet theatre.  
Hosted an international puppet festival annually and produced beloved children’s television series like “Wanderly Wagon.”  
Suffered an arson attack in 2015 causing significant damage, but it was rebuilt and reopened.  
Closed permanently in 2018.

Although the physical theatre is no longer there, the Lambert legacy lives on through the memories of generations of Irish children who were entertained and inspired by their puppet shows and TV programs.
