Here we've answered some of the questions that we hear often.
Please contact us at Dave@RozPuppets.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
For our indoor story stage: We need room for the footprint of the stage and room to access it (10 feet wide by 6 feet deep by 8 feet high).
For our puppet booth stage: We need room for the footprint of the stage (4 feet wide by 4 feet deep by 8 feet high) and an additional 2 feet behind 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, Illinois, and Kentucky. We are happy to perform anywhere nationwide, as long as the sponsor is willing to cover travel expenses.
Please email us at Dave@RozPuppets.com for more information.
Yes, but only with our blue and white striped booth stage. And the only performance available for outdoors is Silly Bits.
Our larger stage is only used indoors, and our summer shows are only available on the large stage, so they cannot be scheduled for outdoor performances.
No deposit is required. Payment is due in full on the day of the performance.
Yes! If you book more than one show on the same day there is a price break.
We also offer a reduced rate if you're able to find a nearby library (within a 45 minute drive) who would like to host us on the same day as you. You would each receive a lower rate, due to shared mileage costs.
We prefer that you do not record our performances in their entirety or post clips and/or livestreams longer than 30 seconds on social media.
Yes, we are happy to perform for business parties, including business Christmas parties.
No, we are not available to perform at birthday parties or in private homes.
Yes, Dave creates every puppet that he uses. He chooses the materials to use, carves the foam, hand sews the puppets and chooses their costumes for each show.
Yes, Dave paints the scenery for each puppet show. More of his artistic creations can be seen in his Etsy store: Scratch Pad Creations.
No, all of our puppet shows are performed live, with only recorded music and sound effects. This allows us to 'personalize' each puppet performance, based on the audience reaction and performance location.
No, we do not currently offer any puppets for sale. If that changes, we will list it here first.
