"We were all very impressed with your puppeteering and the way you captured the children's attention. The enthusiasm and liveliness you generated through your shows was exceptional! " -Capital Children's Museum. |
| This production requires a space 21 feet wide and a ceiling height of 11 feet. |
|
|
For the stage, we bring in our two corner flats, and all our curtains and poles wrapped up in a roll. Our Puppets, props and backdrops are contained in large wooden boxes. |
| Next, we use tripods and our wooden prop bar to create a skeleton for the stage. |
|
|
The curtains are hung, and our stage is created. Our Puppeteers hide behind this curtain and hold the puppets up in the air to be viewed by the audience. |
| We raise our proscenium and backdrop up eleven feet in the air. |
|
|
Our scenery is prepared, the children come in, and the puppet show begins! |
