What People Are Saying

I love the sets and scenes you make for your shows and the puppets all look wonderful.It’s really good to see the people in the audiences, during and after the shows taking great interest and delight in not only seeing a marionette performance but also learning more about the puppets and being able “have a go” themselves.

Awesome. Outstanding. Wow! These are just a few of the words children and adults have used to describe the puppet show that the New Bern Puppets troupe presented at our library this summer. I highly recommend them!
