Big City Park is a wonderful puppet show that airs on CBeebeies. The abundance of puppetry airing in the UK makes me very happy. I just wish my home country of Canada would follow suit. The series was shot outside in Ormeau Park, Belfast and was a co production between CBeebies Scotland and Sixteen South [...]

Hello Everyone, I saw that Kanja had posted a bunch of new stuff on the puppet buzz blog. So, I decided it was a great time to jump back in myself. I love good theater and good puppet theater even more. Monkey Boys Production is currently showing their production of the Little Prince at the Bristol [...]

ODD is quickly becoming the unofficial puppet hub of Toronto, and owner Joanne Bigham is delightfully warm and helpful “guide”. ODD offers puppets, puppet stages (which are definitely investments; but one I [...]
I always love it when nice puppets, good puppeteering and improv work convincingly together. I’m sure you can understand why I like this little video from the UK. There is something about a believable puppet character interacting with real people, that I really like. I hope you do as well.
