[[The Puppet People]] was a puppet company.

Capetonian puppetry artist and former chairperson of Puppetry South Africa ([[UNIMA SA]]), [[Jaqueline Dommisse]], trained in drama in Johannesburg in the 1980s. Together with [[Catherine Dodders]], Dommisse created a puppetry-based company in the 1990s called the Puppet People, which created the seminal puppetry production ''[[Sadako]]'' for the Grahamstown [[National Arts Festival]] Fringe. In 2011, it was recreated and performed on the main festival programme of both the Grahamstown National Arts Festival and the [[Out The Box Festival]] where it won the [[Handspring Puppetry Award]] for best production.
