Puppets & Things on Strings

Mark was great to communicate with and flexible. He showed up right on time and his show was 45-minutes as promised. He was totally into his role, and it was obvious that he was enjoying himself. That goes a long way to getting the audience into it. His show had a lot of variety, and it kept the audience involved. It was fun, professional and everyone there enjoyed it immensely. His puppet Mr. Winslow was the best. Mark is a brilliant ventriloquist!

Really glad that we hired Mark for our son’s 5th birthday! Mark was very professional and easy to work with - he showed up with plenty of time for setup and was both self contained and self sufficient which was helpful as the birthday attendees arrived. The kids loved the show. I’d recommend him!

Mark and his puppet friends performed a wonderful show for my son's 3rd birthday party.
The characters were very cute and funny and the kids were laughing all the way through the show.
Highly recommended as an amazing addition to any party!

What a fabulous performance! Everyone was very entertained and laughing / engaging the entire show!

Got so many laughs during this show. Thankful for the professionalism, punctuality and enthusiasm!!! Many of the parents would love to schedule after watching it and we highly recommend! Perfect for our 2-6 year old crowd!

Mark was great, the kids loved him. He was not only fun, but educational as well!!

Mark was a wonderful addition to our daughter’s birthday party! He was professional, on time and very talented. The kids were engaged throughout the whole performance as well as the adults. We would definitely recommend him for your next event!

We had Mark come to our center for the preschoolers to see a puppet show. Mark was amazing and the children LOVED it! He was also so kind and took the time to show our toddlers and babies a puppet! I will definitely have him out to our center again!

Great show! Kids loved every minute of it!!!

Kids loved the show! They were laughing and following along with the story. The show started and ended on time. Very easy to book and fast response back.

We had Puppets and Things on Strings as the entertainment for our Dragonfly Pediatric Speech Holiday party we threw at the Parker Library. He was prompt and had a great setup. He had cautioned me that kids under the age of 3 might not get it and be as engaged, but luckily, since most of our kids were very young, it turned out to not be true! He was able to keep EVERYONE--young kids, older kids, and adults entertained with creativity and humor and very fun and silly puppets. He read the crowd and worked it appropriately and I got a TON of compliments afterward on how much they loved the show! Thank you so much for a great addition to our party and helping to make it so special!

The kids who were at our festival absolutely loved your show! It was one of my granddaughters favorites and that's saying something. Thanks so much for joining us as we work to grow this event every year! Margret

We had a great time. We hired Puppets and Things on Strings for one of our in house field trips and the kids all had a great time. Even some of the younger kids that we didn't expect to love it did! Thanks for a great show Mark!

Mark was great. We were in communication before the show and he was very punctual the day of. All the kids in my group loved the show and laughed a lot. Would definitely recommend!

Puppets and Things on Strings was a big hit at our Birthday party with 2,3,4,6 and 7 year olds.
I think the adults enjoyed it as much as the little ones.
Mark was great with the set up and take down of the stage and equipment and even better with the kids.
I would definitely Recommend and Book him again in the future. He has a variety of shows to offer and does many performances for schools and bigger venues.

Very sweet and fun show. Everyone, including adults had a great time. I definitely recommend him for your young child's event.

We had the show start an hour into the party and a 45-minute show was perfect because the children stayed engaged.
Lots of parents were asking where we found such a cool performer. I’m so happy he was able to do this for our daughter and friends!

Great!

We are a preschool and all the classes where very entertained and spent days talking about it with there parents, teachers and classmates. I highly recommend this for any gathering.

Vendor did put on a sweet show. He was hard to reach and called to confirm the location after 9 the night before. He claimed we had left messages on his landline and yet his cell was not published in any of the info received. We had assumed he wasn't coming and had planned other party activities.

I came back from our elementary school field trip greeted by administration, teachers, and students talking about how much they loved the performance. The preschool children could not stop talking about everything that made them laugh and were asking to watch video snippets from the performance for the remainder of the day. I would highly recommend Puppets & Things on Strings for any occasion. Thank you so much!

This was a fantastic puppet show for everyone! The kids and adults loved the show!

Think I would ask him not to use the adult "volunteer" at the end. Was a little uncomfortable I think, not knowing she was going to be asked to put on the mask. Just a thought. Other than that, it was fabulous!

Great show for the older kids. We had some 2s and 3s that lost interest after twenty minutes or so. Puppets were very well done and the puppet master pitched reading and how great books were. I liked that he did that. Took a long time to tear down and put everything away.

Mark is very professional and punctual. We hired him for a 6 year old birthday party and all the kids and parents really enjoyed his performance. The show was about 45 minutes long and that's quite a task keeping the kids attention. We were very happy with our selection from this site and would recommend him.

There were many laughs, and we still think and wonder...how he did all that he did !!!!
Very talented.

I would highly recommend Puppets and Things on Strings !

We had Puppets & Things on stings for an event last week for our Summer Pre-K Program! The kids were totally engaged and having a great time. They laughed and wanted more! This is definitely worth the money. If you need entertainment, Choose Puppets & Things on Strings.

I used puppets and things on strings for my daughters 4th birthday party. I took a risk just based on his positive reviews. All the parents thought it was a fun unique idea and was well worth the price. He has great ways to keep a quiet group of parents involved and a rowdy group of kids focused. I'd do it again for sure!

Our church day camp program (children entering K thru gr. 6)recently used Puppets & Things for one of our daily "special" activities. The program was entertaining and well received by all ages - including the 8-10 adults attending. Mark also took the time in response to questions from the children, to describe how ventriloquism works and let us all practice. A real highlight for our week's camp.

The kids loved the performance! Our group was ages 4-9 and each of the kids were glued to the performance. I highly recommend Puppets & Things on Strings to any parent planning a party and any school planning a program or needing entertainment. AMAZING! We will book again!

...but he was even better. I was a bit concerned the 2 year olds in the audience would lose interest over the 45 min show. Not only were they fully engaged in the show so were the older kids and adults and we were all laughing throughout. He definitely has a gift and talent and his art is very well polished and professional. This was a great value and all of our guests loved it!

While the adults in our church were attending a Worship Concert, the kids had a blast watching this show! Mr. Mark captivated their attention, surprised them, and kept them laughing and having a great time. One of the older kids said, "That was way better than I expected". After the show we heard many of the kids practicing the ventriloquist sounds Mr. Mark taught them and making plans to create their own show. The kids couldn't wait to tell their parents about it. Our church will definitely have Mr. Mark back for another show!
