Puppet Shows That Bring Stories to Life
Puppetry and storytelling naturally complement library programs. Children aren't simply watching a performance – they are encouraged to join in, respond to characters, remember familiar rhymes and become part of the story.
There are two popular library packages available:
Mr Punch’s Puppet Show is a family friendly show that ‘brings stories to life!’. The performance engages children and parents, encouraging active participation with lively and colourful story characters. The 30 - 45 minute show enhances the enjoyment of stories and story telling, promotes discussion, inspires imagination and provides lots of laughter for all.
Puppetrix 'Once Upon a Giggle' Puppet and Magic Show is filled with magic and puppet fun. The 30 - 45 minute show incorporates a number of children’s favourite traditional nursery rhymes such as ‘Humpty Dumpty’, ‘Little Miss Muffett’ and stories such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
