OUR KICKSTARTER WAS A SUCCESS!

Greetings, beautiful puppet-loving people! We are infused with renewed energy and excitement to create and put on the best summer show ever! For our Kickstarter, “207 backers pledged $31,339 to help bring this project to life.” Wow!! You helped us to not only reach but exceed our goal. We are so very grateful for your support. The fund-raiser is over, but the hard work to develop the show is just getting started. To the studio!!!
