Penny and the Puppettes® is a live, interactive, musical-comedy puppet show designed for kids ages 1-8. Featuring the singing of NYU musical theatre graduates, Penny and the Puppettes® brings a genuine theater experience to your birthday party, school, library, camp, or other event. They offer 1 to 3 person shows! 

The Puppettes perform an original 30-50 minute show with all of their Puppette friends, using comedy and lots of audience participation to draw the children into the experience. 

Every show is customized and age-appropriate. In brief humorous sketches before each song, Penny and the Puppettes® empower the children to deal with shyness and peer-pressure, to care for nature, and to respect their own feelings and the feelings of others. 

Parents and teachers are pleased to have life lessons presented through music, laughter and fun.

A 45 minute bonanza of catchy music, talking-singing-muppet-style puppets, and interactive activities to keep children engaged and entertained for the entire show.  This show includes:

  • Wide variety of lovable, funny puppets- We make all of the voices!

  • Colorful puppet theater with big windows, sound system with headset mic

  • Sing-alongs to classic children's songs for groups of very young children  (Old MacDonald, If You're Happy and You Know It, etc.)

  • Fun, interactive dancing and movement:  Groups of younger kids love the Hokey Pokey while the older kids try to outsmart the Count to 10 Freeze Dance

  • Listening to and helping our puppets with their problems; being good friends!

  • Multi-dimensional use of puppet theater with puppets popping out through the windows at the same time that one of us is engaging the kids out front

  • For certain performances, we offer a full-body costume transformation into one of our costumed characters:

    • Captain Traptain the Confused Pirate bumbles his way around to find his parrot while the kids flutter baby-bat finger puppets!

  • Smaller speaker for recorded music

  • Small maracas for each kid to shake along to ukulele accompaniment of children’s favorites (Wheels on the Bus, If You’re Happy and You Know it)

  • Small hand puppets for each child to hold during ukulele accompaniment of Old MacDonald

  • Movement includes dancing/bopping to the Hokey Pokey

  • Amplification possible if more than 15 kids
