    We would love to travel to New York, but we don’t have any plans at this time. Traveling will become more of an option once we get our new stage and trunks built, something I’ll be working on in the next six months or so. If we do travel the nation, we’ll post the info on our web site.

    Puppet Stages

    When designing a new stage , I would consider portability, durability, and set up time. Also consider where you will be performing. Our whole puppet show set up fits in the back of a Toyota Matrix - stage and all. People are always amazed that we can fit so much, plus two people in a...

    Wes, We’d love to tour the whole nation with our puppet shows at some point in the future, and a stop in Georgia would be great. As I’m sure you are aware, Atlanta is the home of the Center for Puppetry Arts. In fact Tim, one of our puppeteers is from Georgia and worked at The Center for a...

    Replacing A Puppet

    Many factors determine how long a puppet will last: how well it was built, what materials were used, how much (and how vigorously) was it used. I would guess that Kermit would last a long time because he is mostly fleece and is fairly durable. I’m assuming that Miss Piggy needs to be rebuilt...

    Puppetry Blog Favouritism

    I started my blog a while ago, and even though I have the best intentions, sometimes I get too busy to keep it updated (that reminds me, I have to update my blog:p - I'm going to do that right now! ). Anyway, I think starting your own blog is an excellent idea. It’s free fun and rewarding.:)
