The Best Birthday Party Ever!
Engaging ~ Interactive ~ Creative
Our puppetry accommodates children of differing ages, natures and needs ~
there is a place for everyone in a Little Puppet Studio party!
As your young guests arrive, they are taken under our wing. Hosts can join in or sit back and enjoy! When the partygoer’s rides return at the designated time, the children perform the show to the group.
- For ages 7 and up: The children are a part of the process from start to finish. We share the story, choose parts, puppets, sound effects instruments, and prepare the set and scenery. We rehearse the play. The group is now ready to perform. Drivers arrive at the designated time and the performance begins! Hosts serve cake for the cast and audience while Little Puppet Studio packs up.
- For Ages 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 of all ages enjoy hands-on guided play with the marionettes and props. Little Puppet Studio also offers a costume option to add to the mix, bringing along a trunk filled with fanciful dress-up costumes for 6 and unders. As Little Puppet Studio packs up to go home, hosts serve cake.
