Clement McCrae Puppet Show put on a great show for our event

The Clement McCrae Puppet Show performed at our Holy Roast BBQ event. We had in excess of 80 kids & adults and both young and old enjoyed the show. They were very prompt in returning emails and were very professional and made the entire process very easy. We thank them for performing at our event and adding lots of value to our kids activities. Thank you, Donna.

Thank you Donna. This was a great family event and we were so happy to have been apart of it. When we arrived our representative met us and showed us right to where we were to perform. We had plenty of time to set up. It was so great that both parents and kids got to see the show together and fun seeing the parents helping us out after the show for the demonstration and then the kids as well. Wish you all the best.

Thank you Zara. We remember your party, and we had a fabulous time with your family! After our show we did this little bit and got the family involved with it. For us, the biggest kick is getting to see the smiles on the faces of the adults AND the kids who are smiling together. That is always the high-5 moment for us. Nice to hear from you!

Thank you so much. Platte County Fair has already booked us back for next year -- for the 150th year of the County Fair!!!!! The audience this year was so responsive and seeing smiles on the faces of adults and kids together is the icing on the cake. Looking forward to next year! Great Staff too!

What to expect

Our show is mostly Marionettes, with Rod Puppets, and Hand Puppets all set to music. It is set in short little acts performed out front where you can see the puppeteers. The show is quick paced, filled with circus clowns, animal acts, acrobats, dancing poodles.

How long is the show?
=======================

The performance is about an hour -- the show runs typically around 30 minutes then we do another roughly 30 minutes of audience participation

This works wonderfully for multiple shows performed over an all day event. Deep discounts for multiple bookings.
