The Puppet and Story Works was invited to perform on the  Fairfax, VA public access cable channel program "Healthy Food, Happy You," a vegetarian-focused cooking and healthy eating show, for its August, 2011 airing. The show's producer and director, Jorge Mera, is hoping to use our puppets, and particularly Dotti's ventriloquism, to help get more children interested in eating and cooking vegetarian foods.

OUR PUPPETRY
Growth

In fun and exciting ways, The 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.

Laughter

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.

Mysteries

With 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.

Audiences
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.
