Birthday Parties
The best birthday party ever!
The birthday party children are a part of the process from start to finish. We review the story, choose parts, puppets, sound effects instruments, and prepare the set and scenery. We rehearse the play. The group is ready to perform. The children's grownups return and the performance begins, for them! Hosts serve cake for the cast and audience while we pack up. Making felted animal marionettes is an additional party option for 10 years and older.
Ages 7 and Up
For children 6 and under, Little Puppet Studio prepares the set and performs a family-style interactive performance designed especially for young children. Following the performance, babies and children enjoy guided hands-on play with the marionettes and sets, sound effects instruments, and props. We offer a costume option to add to the mix ~ a trunk with playful dress-up accessories for children 6 and under. As we pack up to go home, hosts serve cake.
