Making The World A Better Place One Puppet Show At A Time!
Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart!
Important Announcement
Dear Fans, Friends and families,
I have been fortunate enough to be your local professional puppeteer since 2002. As for everyone the last few years have been hard, especially for the arts. I have really struggled to keep afloat and I am ever so thankful to all of those incredible human beings that love me and the puppets and have helped us get through. I am eternally thankful. It is time for my journey to take another turn.
I have accepted a full-time position as a third grade teacher and I am so excited! This new job is something I have been working towards the last couple years and I am so thrilled for the school year to start and meet my new students.
Although, it is a bit bitter sweet. I love performing for children and their families and will miss the normal library, school and birthday party shows during the school year. My plan is to do special events and library tours in the summer still with the same enthusiasm as ever for my puppet plays.
Thank you for your support over the years and all my best.
-Penny-
And the Puppets.
Let's Celebrate!
Birthday Parties
Make it Special! We are happy to bring the puppet shows to a socially distanced space. Backyard, front porch, driveway or local park. Let's Talk.
Let 's make your special one’s birthday an extraordinary event! Our imaginative and interactive shows take the audience on a musical journey full of fun and laughter.
Let's Party!
What:
Birthday parties are a special time for EVERYONE!
Penny's Puppet shows utilize audience participation, instill a love of music and language, and stimulate the imagination. They naturally support emotional development, improve listening skills, and develop awareness of and appreciation for the similarities in all people (and puppets).
Where: (we bring the fun to you)
Penny will bring her traveling puppet stage to your party along with everything else she needs for the full puppet show experience. Her travel stage measures 3 ½ by 4 feet (or a large office desk). An electrical outlet is necessary and Penny will bring an extension cord.
How?
Typical length for a child’s birthday party is one to two hours. The puppet show should be scheduled approximately 30 minutes into your event; this allows time for your guests to arrive, get acquainted and visit prior to the show. Some families plan a craft (i.e. making puppets, hats or masks) prior to the puppet show as the children arrive. Other families let the children play and do big movement activities. It all depends on your individual needs and tastes. Puppet show performance lengths vary between 30-45 minutes.
Don’t forget to mention the puppet show start time on your invitations--this encourages your guests to arrive prior to the start of the show so no one misses the fun.
Things to keep in Mind:
This is a children’s birthday party, in order for everyone to have the best time performances work best when kids AND grown-ups participate in the fun! These shows are intended to be fun for all and interactive, having your child see an adult enjoying, interacting, and Role modeling makes the experience even more memorable. I require that at least 2 adults stay in the room with me but prefer more. I also ask that those adults who want to use their Cell phones or chat and catch up during the show go in another room so there is less distraction for us all. All in the name of Fun!
