We will arrive early, set up everything we need, and perform an awesome puppet show for your guests. When the show is over we always stay a bit longer so the children can say hello to their favorite puppet or sneak a behind the scenes peek at the theater.
If you have chosen a birthday party package the birthday child will be featured as the star of the show! You may choose to add on a special treat such as a puppet making workshop, puppet party favors, or airbrush face painting.
