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.
