Xtreme Puppet Truth (XPT) stuck me at first by a quote of theirs I ran across-
“XPT makes Avenue Q look like Bambi.” ~ The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
this puppet show is an annual event that brings together puppeteers of varying ages, styles, and genres
they get together and create multiple short puppetry scenes
trying to branch to the far reaches of puppetry
I found this process description/interview to be really interesting

I couldn't really find any video's of shows that were going to be performing this year but I did find a particularly eerie stop motion production from 2006

which helps to show that many of these performances are not really intended for children
