Puppet Performances

Peewinkle's Puppets are now available to bring a 'run' (four or more performances) of puppet shows to your venue. Available shows are:

"The Slightly Haunted Puppet Show"
Classic music and traditional Halloween characters... juggling scarecrow, concert pianist, kitchen witch, dancing skeleton, flying ghost and more. This family friendly show is a great alternative to the haunted house.

This fun filled, high spirited, holiday entertainment is a perfect event for the whole family. Mozart and Ludmilla, the ritzy rodents, will host this variety show of holiday marionettes, music and audience participation.

"The Valentine's Day Cabaret"
