Puppet Show Frequently Asked Questions

We need room for the footprint of the stage (7 feet wide by 4 feet deep by 8 feet high). Ideally we would like to have an additional 3 feet on each side of the stage, for puppeteer access.

The audience should be seated at a bare minimum 4 feet from the front of the stage, in order to allow for proper sitelines of the stage opening.

We are based in northern Indiana, but we love to travel, and regularly perform throughout Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. We are happy to perform anywhere in the continental United States, as long as the sponsor is willing to cover travel expenses. 

Please email us at Dave@RozPuppets.com for more information.
