Carolina Puppet Theatre

We were introduced to this fun activity by the teacher I work with. She said it was amazing, fun, interactive, puppet show. They use to perform once a week I believe at Comedy Works in Raleigh, but they had their last show there about 6 months ago. I was bummed because I missed the chance to see it when she first told me about it, and now all they did was private shows, BUMMER! 
Well she recently informed me that they had found a new location to perform and that were perform today, awesome! So I looked it up and off we went! 
We arrived at a nice place in Wake Forest, looked like a shopping center that was redone to be a venue for different events, with a box office, restrooms and a snack bar (that was not open today), and a multipurpose room that the events could take place in. I good amount of people where there but not to many to be overwhelming for my littles(or for mommy to let them sit on the floor in front). 
The environment was cheerful, and we watched as some children put pieces of paper in a mailbox that was placed at edge of the stage, the puppet curtain was decorated with flip-flops and sea animals. This lead to another discussion with my children as to what they thought this show was going to be about. Because after all we just returned from the beach. ( will be another post later). 
The show started as a lady entered the stage with a cheery voice and talked with a puppet. She was very upbeat and had a way to quite all the children with "sparkle hands". The show consisted of songs, dancing, and a good lesson to listen to what your parents say! I loved it had a message with it. We learned that the mailbox was to leave mail for one of the puppets and they read and recognize each child that puts something in it! The story was made up of kids in the audience and they helped to tell the story. Which of course my Jerzie girl was picked to be on stage as a crab! This is her saying her part, that was just repeating what the lady had said.

I think with the 5 dollars a person for an hour show was a great deal. They do this once a month at this place, cant wait to attend again! Puppet Show Webpage
