A Clever Blend of Fun & Pathos

Changing the World

Puppets are helping to change the way we relate to the world around us. Besides providing ways to eliminate social boundaries, they are helping to forge new relationships and have become catalysts for social change. They have become spokesmen for product identification and have a way of inspiring personal activity.

Our standard performances are presented "LIVE" using hand, rod and/or a combination of hand and rod puppets. Some of our most popular productions like The Lion and The Mouse and Androcles and the Lion in our From Far Off Places Series are taken from epic sagas and classic tales which demonstrate truth and honor, while other stories in the series are adapted from ancient legends from the faroff corners of the earth such as North and Central America, the Middle East, the Distant Orient and beyond... Other stories like Jonah & the Big Fish in our Bible Classics Series are adapted from Old and New Testament accounts and parables. We also have a Kings & Castles Series and and early learning series entitled Once Upon a Time which includes many well known and beloved children's stories abd nursery rhymes.

Each production lasts from 30 to 40 minutes and contains fascinating and exciting accounts of renowned characters, personalities, ancient nations and kingdoms. Incorporating digitally recorded music and live sound effects., the stories are presented in a way that only puppets can, using a clever blend of fun and pathos; which teach invaluable lessons, while remaining inspiring, edifying and enriching for the audience.

natures most intelligent
learning system

While employee seminars and workshops are the most widely used methods for employee training, play activity has been identified as a critical factor in socialization and child development. Play has also evolved to its highest expression, in mammals, as a specialized learning behavior. In an evolutionary sense, play is the wellspring of learning, and in modern terms may be viewed as nature’s most intelligent learning system. More recently in a more popular vein, puppets have also come to be used as a tool for learning and are widely recognized for their beneficial influence in learning and social development. Therefore, since play is thought of as the mental soil upon which great inventors and scientists establish their work, the ancient hand puppet can be recognized as a symbol of play and a tool for learning. Interestingly enough, puppets have been shown to exert a powerful influence on children of all ages^†.
