Easter

2-Person Puppet-Musicals	Storytelling with Puppets
Easter Rabbit: the Movie A unique concept for a puppet show, where our live Director Bob has to utilize the audience as his "film crew" to shoot "the film!" (No real film/video equipment is actually used)	The Krewe of Easter Karnival has our frenzied tuxedoed Krewe Kaptain who must prepare (with great assistance from the audience) his "Easter Parade!" The Easter Bunny, of course, is one of 4 puppet-guests!

Thanksgiving

2-Person Puppet-Musicals	Storytelling with Puppets
The Bepuzzled Pilgrim has our annual visit from Xavier, a pilgrim brought to us by radio to search for something called a "turkey" for the first Thanksgiving! Loads of fun, audience interaction, and gags galore! Featuring Porta-Puppet favorites Squanto, Ethel Mermaid and more! One of our most popular productions!	The Mayflower Story is an actual history lesson cleverly taught with puppet cameos, and even coloring at the end, all told by a live Thanksgiving pilgrim!

Christmas

1 & 2-Person Puppet-Musicals

Storytelling with Puppets

An Appointment with Santa
focuses on a brand new yuletide character, Noél, the secretary to Santa. "The whole world wants to see him" Noél sings...but how you and your guests get an appointment is quite a trick!

The Toymaker's Wife
A woman's side of the story, as told by Carol
("...as in Christmas"). Her busy schedule almost ruins the holiday and a splendid marriage.

The Shanty Where Santy Clause Lives
takes a present-day street kid back to the year 1933 where he learns a lesson in greed from a very special
"run-of-the-mill" Jack In The Box.

Storytime with Mrs. Claus
A fun look at the female's side of the North Pole...with our delightful heroine full of comic pep, special sing-a-longs, unveiling such Christmastime visitors as Santa, Rudolph, Frosty, kickline-dancing Dolls, and that mouse that was "stirring" on "The Night Before Christmas"!!

The Toymaker's Helper
is a retiring "Elf" ("Seasons Greetings") whose job it must be to "teach the ropes" to newcomer-Elf "Yule Tide", with such other comic Christmas cohorts as: The Nutcracker, the "Christmas Seal", a Jack-in-the-Box, & Santa, of course!
