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 couple of years. Victoria, another one of our puppeteers performed in their show Peter Pan a while back.

To answer your question about shadow puppets, I would check out the center. They have information on all sorts of puppetry, and they offer a wide range of shows using many different types of puppetry. The Center also has a research library. If you can’t make it out there, you can check out their web site: http://www.puppet.org/ Another resource is the Puppeteers of America: http://puppeteers.org/

If you wanted to see how to make simple shadow puppets check out episode two of The Swazzle Workshop. Tiger and Mousedeer show how to make shadow puppets using card stock, barbecue skewers, a card board box, wax paper, and a desk lamp: http://www.swazzle.com/swazzleworkshop2.html

Good luck,

Sean

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.
