Bialystok Puppet Theater (Template:Lang-pl) is one of the oldest Polish puppet theaters. It is located at 1 Kalinowskiego Street in Białystok. Its repertoire includes performances for children as well as puppetry adaptations of international literature for adults.[1]
History
Białystok Puppet Theatre was officially established in 1953, when the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage granted it a subsidy and the status of a professional stage.

Its history, however, dates back to pre-WWII when Helena Pacewicz and Piotr Sawicki (the theater's first managers) founded an amateur puppet theater in Bialystok in 1937.[2]
The nationalization of the theater took place in 1960, and in 1972 the adult stage was created (the first in Poland). The Puppet Theater Actor Study was founded in 1974 (later transformed into the Puppetry Department of the Aleksander Zelwerowicz National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw in Warsaw).[2]
Between 1975 and 1979, the first building in Poland intended for the puppet theater was erected. It houses three stages: Large (200 seats), Small (100 seats) and Rehearsal Room (40 seats).
