PUPPETS Whether you're just getting into puppetry or just want a little help making up your mind (which you're far more likely to get from us than, oh... say, help making up your bed), here's some information to assist the process. How about a STARTER PACKAGE of puppets? It comes with 6 puppets, a training video, and several bits of programming. That's enough to make a pretty big splash. For those of you who DO NOT perform in water, it gives you plenty to work with as well. Want a more diverse selection? Then choose from any of these PACKAGES. Some of them are seasonal. Some are for missions. Some are just all dressed up and looking for a place to go. Check 'em out! Don't have much money? You'll want to consider PUPPLETS™, our line of budget puppets. They're colorful and interesting, lightweight and inexpensive. Sounds like the ideal pet, and they are - puppets. Get it? Pets? Pup-pets? Oh, nevermind.

PROGRAMMING

What about PROGRAMMING? We've got tons. The previous link will get you to most of it, but for more specialized, shorter programs you might like All Star Compilation CD, or All Star Music Compilation CD. These are CDs made up of complete pieces from other programs. Not like broken pieces, you know. We don't sell broken stuff - in pieces or otherwise.

Maybe you plan to perform live. If so, then you'll definitely want our INS AND OUTS and INTROS AND EXITS CDs. These are chock full of little musical bits to open and close your programs or use during scene changes within a program. And exactly how full IS chock full?

EQUIPMENT

And then there is the matter of your STAGE. We make a lightweight, portable stage for small groups called, strangely enough, the PORTA-STAGE™. We make the strongest and most attractive adjustable stage available for groups of varying sizes called the ADJUSTA-STAGE™. (Are you picking up on the pattern?) Why, we even make a wearable stage that one puppeteer can wear and perform from while wearing it. Can you guess what it's called? Nope, that's incorrect. It's actually called the STROLLING STAGE™. I just added in the wearing emphais to throw you off. In point of fact, the puppeteer wearing the STROLLING STAGE™ can easily stroll around at the same time.

If you need a SOUND SYSTEM (and who doesn't?), we have a few available that we have actually tested in the field. The field right behind our building in DeSoto, TX. And we also used them in a parking lot. And in a parade. And in quite a number of church facilities across the country. They work.

TRAINING

Recommended reading for any puppet leader or serious student of puppetry is THE COMPLETE PUPPETEER. For those who are more, uh... shall we say, "couch oriented?" we offer our PUPPET TRAINING VIDEOS. Either way, you get an education and don't have to pay for a parking permit.

GENERAL ASSISTANCE

Of course, it goes without saying that you can call us at 1-800-854-2151 (contintental US only) or 972-709-7400 and talk to one of our courteous and friendly Customer Service Representatives about your needs. Your puppetry needs, that is. None of us are prepared to discuss either your physical or emotional needs at any level. We answer the phones Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm (central time). You can e-mail us too, at information@puppetproductions.com. But the rules about physical and emotional needs apply there, too. Call your pastor about that stuff.
