In Person Puppet Shows + Workshop
Designed for up to 30 children, these small ‘in person puppet shows + workshop’s are easy to host in a classroom setting or living room. The audience enjoys a short puppet show followed by instruction and help on making their own puppet for creative fun.
WP Puppet Theatre recently visited our ECS program for a performance and workshop. We were incredibly pleased with the experience! The presentation was engaging and Wendy successfully simplified her use of language so that our students could better understand the story. Our students range from age 3 to 6 and are all Deaf or Hard of Hearing. The visual engagement of Wendy’s puppet performance was compelling! We also appreciated her willingness to use specialized equipment to make the performance and workshop more accessible to our students.
The workshop portion of the experience was also excellent. Wendy provided all of the necessary materials and with support from our own staff, was able to give instructions to our students so that they could successfully create a puppet of their own! We look forward to potentially welcoming WP Puppet Theatre back to our program.
