Puppetry is a complex medium sometimes consisting of live performance, sometimes contributing to stop frame puppet animation, and film where performances might be technically processed as motion capture, CGI or as virtual puppetry. In this case a puppeteer is a more complete theatre practitioner than is the case with other theatre forms, in which one person writes a play, another person directs it, and then actors perform the lines and gestures.

Very often, though, the puppeteer assumes the joint roles of puppet-maker, director, designer, writer and performer. The relationship between the puppeteer and the puppet-maker is similar to that between an actor and a playwright, in cases where a puppet-maker designs a puppet for a puppeteer. In a shadow play only the shadows of the puppet are seen on a screen positioned between the puppets and the audience. Much work is produced without any speech at all with all the emphasis on movement. In traditional glove puppetry often one puppeteer will operate two puppets at a time out of a cast of several. Often, in theatre, a moveable mouth is used only for gestural expression, or speech might be produced by a non-moving mouth. However, there is much puppetry which does not use the moving mouth (which is a lip-sync innovation created originally for television where close-ups are popular). The puppeteer might speak in the role of the puppet's character, synchronising the movements of the puppet's mouth.

In some instances, the persona of the puppeteer is also an important feature, as with ventriloquist's dummy performers, in which the puppeteer and the human figure-styled puppet appear onstage together, and in theatre shows like Avenue Q. The puppeteer's role is to manipulate the physical object in such a manner that the audience believes the object is imbued with life.
