Renaissance Artist Puppet Company Library Shows are performed by one and two performers. They are priced more modestly for library and individual class rooms. As with our Puppet Theatre productions, these shows are produced to be family entertainment, with an educational base. This makes them ideal for the general public, as an addition to classroom curriculum, or for Summer camp fun. Puppet style varies with each production.
