Welcome to the quirky, silly, crazy, comical, ingenious, ridiculous, inspiring, surprising, educational, ecological world of Squashbox Theatre!

My name is Craig Johnson and I live in Penzance, Cornwall. I am a performer, musician and puppeteer, and a long-standing member of Kneehigh Theatre, Cornwall‘s internationally renowned theatre company.

Find out more about me here.

As a solo artist, I perform under the name Squashbox Theatre.

Squashbox Theatre produces quality performances involving puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy for schools, theatres, village halls, festivals and events. This website offers information about my two current shows, The Sea Show and Skillywidden, (recommended for ages 5-11 / KS 1 and 2).

You can also find out about the workshops I offer on puppetry, drama and storytelling, available for primary and secondary schools, early years, colleges, adult education and all other communities and groups.

Squashbox Theatre can also bring its unique mix of comedy, puppets and music to cabaret performances, emceeing, and street theatre. Find out more here, and check out my gallery of weird and wonderful images from previous performances.

You will also find contact information, and links to other sites of interest..

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the site!
