Free City Puppets
Unfinished History
The San Francisco Diggers engaged in a variety of actions during their heyday from 1965-67, all of which involved the concept of "Free." Parallel to the Bread and Circus puppet theater on the East Coast, the Diggers staged in parks and backyards around San Francisco a series of "Free City Puppets" shows.
