Renaissance Artist Puppet Company Library Shows are performed by one person. They are priced more modestly for library and individual class rooms. As with our Puppet Theatre productions, these shows are produced to be family entertainment, with an educational base. This makes them ideal for the general public, as an addition to classroom curriculum, or for Summer camp fun. Puppet style varies with each production.
Audience sizes up to 125 to 200.

after rework.
Original Little Red &
Wolf.
Meet little Red Riding Hood the third and that favorite villian, The Wolf. Have fun while learning the values of not holding a grudge and how you don't have to be exactly like Mom or Dad to still be a good and capable person. This performance uses Glove and Mouth puppets to tell this fun, mural driven classic. It should be noted that Renaissance Artist Puppet Company has adopted and adapted this performance from a retiring puppeteer of the 5 County area, Mrs. Claire Nees. We felt that it's foundation was strong, and that it should continue to teach and entertain for our community instead of being put in a box. Thank you Claire for your willingness to allow us to perform the work.
