Puppet quotes of the day

"*I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king; I've
been up and down and over and out, And I know one thing; Each time I find
myself flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race*"

"*Any time you take something that is not alive and imbue it with life,
that's puppetry. In my book, clay animation is a form of
puppetry"

"One Wacky Winter" by Randal Metz & the Puppet Company

Join us for a bit of holiday fun as the Puppet Company spoofs our classic
Christmas TV specials. "One Wacky Winter", is loosely based on "How the
Grinch Stole Christmas" and is a visual treat with a variety of hand and rod
puppets and marionettes.

Randal Metz & the Puppet Company have been creating "Fantasies in Miniature"
for over thirty years. Trained by such famous puppeteers as Lewis Mahlmann
of Children's Fairyland, Bob Baker of Disneyland, and even the Muppets.
Randal creates shows that appeal to audiences of all ages.
