There are two birthday party choices: Diane can bring a Puppet Show or Songs and Puppet Skits to your home or preschool for a special and fun birthday celebration event.

Sue Bisson, Mom:
Thank you so very much for an awesome (Sir George and the Dragon) show. The kids loved it! You helped to make Jocelyne’s birthday extra special!

Option #1 Puppet Show: Puppet shows currently available on a small stage include “Sir George and the Dragon” and “Hungry Caterpillar”. My small booth style stage is 3′ square, but allow 4′ square space. Most children can follow a story at age 3 and up for about 30 minutes. Diane provides the puppet theatre stage and lights.

Party Format: Diane introduces then performs the puppet show. Shows are about 30 minutes in length. At the end of the puppet show, a puppet presents the birthday child with a present (Diane’s Dinosaur Stomp CD) and sings happy birthday. Allow 30 - 40 minutes. The most popular birthday show Diane performs is “Sir George and the Dragon” puppet show, great for mixed age audiences of ages 3 – 10 and families.

Paula Ellis:
Just wanted to thank you so much for the great performance (Sir George and the Dragon) on Saturday at David’s party. The kids absolutely loved it and we all had a fantastic time. THANK YOU so much for making David’s Birthday so special! Also thanks for the CD!! We’ve been listening to it in the car and we all love it!

Option #2 Songs and Puppet Skits: For children who are very young and kinetic, music and movement with a few puppet skits would be a great choice for a party! Diane brings her guitar, and supplies simple rhythm instruments for children to play along. Songs selected are from Diane’s Dinosaur Stomp CD and upcoming Spinning Around the Sun CD as well as traditional songs such as Shake Your Sillies Out, Bubble Gum song and even the Chicken Dance! Puppet skits may include a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly, dinosaurs and more. Diane will play guitar and sing happy birthday for cake cutting if desired. Contact Diane for other puppets available.

Party Format: Diane arrives at your home or other venue to set up before guests are expected to arrive. Example: For a in-home party that begins at 1 pm and showtime is at 1:30 pm, I would arrive by 12:45 and set up. Performance 30 minutes. No puppet stage is required for this option.

Fee: Due upon my arrival at the home or other venue. See “Book A Show” for rate details. If the birthday party is larger than 20 children, a higher rate will be charged.

Donna Dovas, Goffstown NH Mom:
The show (Forest Folktales with Hungry Caterpillar) was great, thank-you!  Mandi really enjoyed herself and loves your music.  She knows all the words to every song … it’s actually the most requested CD in our house when driving in the car.
