Live Shows. Socially Distanced. Fully Vaccinated.

Give your kids the magic they’ve been missing!

Our creator and puppeteer is fully vaccinated against COVID-19! That means we are happily accepting bookings for LIVE, socially-distanced puppet shows!

We know the vaccine isn’t a magic wand, so we take safety seriously. Masks are required for both puppeteer and audience and a distance of at least 6ft. must be accommodated between the audience and puppet stage. Craft supplies are packaged individually for each child as an added precaution.

Our puppet shows are perfect for schools, daycares, and birthday parties. We look forward to giving your child or classroom the live, hands-on experience kids are craving.

ShakesBEARS: “The Tempest”

Betrayal . . . magic . . . love . . . redemption.

The ShakesBEARS version of The Tempest has it all.

Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan has been usurped by his younger brother and exiled with his daughter, Miranda, on a deserted island.  But nothing is a simple as it seems when magic is involved . . .

A shipwreck casts the usurping brother ashore along with a very handsome young prince.  Will Prospero take his revenge? Can Miranda resist the charm of seeing her first cute boy?!  Oh, and did I mention Prospero is a wizard?

Everything goes topsy-turvy in this enchanted romantic comedy.

After the show, kids will craft their very own puppets to take home!

Recommended for ages 3+
