This most unusual, educational, and highly entertaining puppet program explores the
development of puppetry from the earliest tribal masks to the larger-than- life puppets of
today. Your students will see how they are operated and learn how to make simple puppets
from objects around the house . Puppets from many parts
of the world and of many different cultures and types such as Hand Puppets, Rod Puppets,
Mouth Puppets and Marionettes are introduced
Your students will see Frogs sing, Skeletons dance, and one string marionette operate
another string marionette. This program is filled with Music, Fun, and Laughs presented in an
enlightening way, this is a program your audience will never forget.
Versions for grades K - 3, 4 - 6, and K - 6.
Bob Conrad is the author of "The Puppetry Workshop Manual" and "Mouth Puppets".
We at Greenwood Elementary would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your puppet show assembly held at
our school back in October. The Program was wonderful and the Children here enjoyed the puppets.
Again we thank you . We will keep your information on file for future presentations.

Bob Conrad opened our new season at the Puppet Playhouse, with his production " Puppets from around the World" ,
last Sunday.
When Bob performs, our audiences are responsive and involved. His manner is relaxed, and informal.
Bob is a consummate professional. The variety of programs he offers is unique, in my experience.
In fact, we look forward to having him do a different program for us, next spring!
