The article examines puppet theaters and methods of their work in modern inclusive programs. The relevance of such areas is argued in relation to the organization of performances, as well as the possibility of involving people with disabilities in them. Examples of historical puppet theaters from different countries are given (nativity scene, boudoir theater, Vietnamese water puppet theater, Chinese shadow puppetry, Japanese kamishibai) and their integration into modern inclusive projects that are used for socialization, habilitation, rehabilitation and interaction with people with physical or psychological disabilities. The experience of organizing productions in such theaters transmits the concepts of inclusiveness that will contribute to the recovery of puppeteers and spectators with disabilities. In puppet theater productions, fairy tales, folklore, and new works are interconnected, based on modern history and characters, including inclusive ones. Directors and playwrights, using various staging interpretations and puppet construction, talk about the problems of overcoming trauma and illnesses. The study of inclusive theater and inclusive staff performances takes place in an interdisciplinary space. Sociology, psychology, architecture, art history, pedagogy and other sciences are relevant to this problem.
