NEW! Video on – demand puppet shows
WP Puppet Theatre is pleased to offer the best of our past productions as short video on – demand puppet shows.
TUBE WORMS
“Tube Worms”, is a shadow and hand puppet show performed to Wendy Passmore-Godfrey’s original poem inspired by the extraordinary hydrothermal vents, wondrous deep-water creatures and concern for this precious environment.
An activity guide to accompany the video is also included. When you purchase this resource you will get the password for accessing the private Vimeo link.
Pair this guide with the Angler Fish puppet project and you have at least a whole day of fun!
Recently Wendy (AD of WPTS) had a terrific time leading an online presentation with patrons of the Vancouver Island Library system. She screened a puppet show video called Tube Worms, which features lovely shadowy underwater puppets and a precocious Sally hand puppet. Then she went Behind the Scenes to show the puppets and props and share more ideas on making puppets for the dark – like blacklight and LED puppets. The audience from all over the Island, Haida Gwaii to Ladysmith, had lots of questions and comments – “your puppets are awesome”, “the vampire squid was my favourite”, “My kid was clearly inspired”
As WPTS strives to present fact-based science, together with puppet fun, it was thrilling to receive this feedback from someone who knows! “I wanted to write to Wendy and give her an A+ on her tube worm anatomy. I’m a deep sea explorer and I’ve seen the ocean floor and hydrothermal vents, and her animals are perfect. I’m happy she’s sharing her love for the deep!”

Originally an Australian folktale, about a frog who swallowed all the water in the world, but it’s given a modern overtone with found object puppets and modern water issues. A child holds the key to the padlock though and saves the world!
