AUDIO PUPPETRY
An amazing theatrical, musical experience where kids design and create a personality for their very own puppets. Kids then bring puppets to life by recording their voices on songs while preparing for a one of a kind, end of program musical performance! It's like a real life Pinocchio story!
Parents assist with assembling puppets, and parents assist with virtual recording children’s voices by using an Iphone, ipad, or with simple and free voice recorder software that is provided.
