"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.


       Puppets are viewed at height of 6 ft. Stage is 21 ft. wide. Backdrop proscenium is 11 ft. (adjustable) We prefer to set up on the floor in front of stage. (puppeteers are not visible to your audience) Children are seated on floor or in chairs with center aisle. All sight lines are excellent. 350-400 maximum audience.
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!
