Behind the Scenes at What If Puppets Theater
The Joy of Puppetry Comes to Life at What If Puppets Theater
A Behind the Scenes Look
We recently had the chance to take you all on a very special behind the scenes tour of What If Puppets Theater after their showing of “The Snowy Day and Other Stories” by Zera Jack Keats. The performance, much like the theater itself, was simply joyful to witness. The storytelling was so fun and the kids really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the puppets come to life. There’s something magical about storytelling and the players at What If Puppets Theater really seem to take that to heart. In case you missed it when we aired it live, you can find our video tour online anytime:
What If Puppets Theater aims to be innovative, imaginative, and inspiring and they successfully accomplish that in a variety of ways. From their live shows to their classes, workshops, and parties, your family will enjoy your experience inside the unique atmosphere.
Live Shows
Throughout the season, families and groups can enjoy a variety of wonderful What If Puppets performances by the actors and actresses at the theater. During the show that we watched, there were two performers playing several different characters throughout the show (more on that in the back half of the video above). Performances take place during the week and on weekends so groups and families with children of all ages can enjoy the experience. After each performance, guests are invited to stick around and create puppets of their very own based on a character from the show.
Educational Classes
Children ages preschool through 4th grade can participate in a variety of educational classes during the school year at What If Puppets Theater. Each class is geared towards the individual skill set of the grade level it’s geared for and they take place during the week and on the weekends for flexibility in scheduling.
