Our Show Format

Our doors open at 2:00 p.m. for the regular Saturday performance. As  the audience enters theatre  they are greeted by the puppeteers who seat the children in front of the puppet stage while adults take their seats around the perimeter of the theatre.  Then , in our interactive pre-show , the puppeteers walk through the audience with marionettes who engage the children in humorous verbal and visual interplay. This helps us  establish a rapport with  the children and helps to hold the attention of even  very small children throughout the main performance.

At approximately 2:20 p.m., house lights dim and the main puppet stage curtain opens.

At the conclusion of the performance the  curtain re-opens and the puppeteers  invite the audience up to the front of the stage to see some of the workings behind the scenes, ask  questions about the show and witness a  demonstration of some of the marionettes from the show.

When the general public exits the theatre any scheduled birthday parties begin at this time.

Private birthday parties are scheduled on Saturdays with the performance at 11:00 a.m. and the party at the conclusion of the show  (app. 11:45 a.m.).
