In
fun and exciting ways, Transformation Puppetry and Story Works uses the
arts of puppetry and storytelling to help our audiences grow toward
healthier, more fulfilling lives in their relationships with each other
as well as through sustainable living practices in our stressed-out
natural environment.
Entertainment and laughter are some of the best ways to inform and to change perceptions about important daily living issues, as well as broader social and environmental problems. Children in particular are immediately drawn to colorful puppets and their comical situations which makes puppetry an ideal medium for helping kids learn and grow.
Using mysteries, puzzling plots, colorful characters, and comedy, TPSW shows create excitement and curiosity about these issues, and help kids figure out what they can do about them.
Our puppeteers and their puppets interact with audiences throughout each show to reinforce lessons learned and the solutions presented so kids can easily recall and use them in real-life situations back home.
We produce shows for public and private elementary schools, libraries, and other community organizations on broad themes such as: building self-esteem and social skills; coping with feelings; school safety; caring for the environment; and living simply.
Still another component of TPSW is our puppet ministry which produces shows for church organizations on various Christian education, faithful living, and creation care themes.
