The Wonderful World of Puppets
A Journey Around the Globe
The Puppet Place's famous and rambunctious Mr. Punch acts as host, introducing this crowd-pleasing show that is both entertaining and educational. The Wide World of Puppets demonstrates the four basic puppet groups (hand, shadow, rod, and string or marionette) by using them in stories from their cultures of origin. Shadow puppets from China, dancing marionettes from Mexico, India, and Egypt, and rod puppets from eastern Europe appear in a Punch and Judy hand puppet show from England.

The Magic Onion
A Story About Friendship
Blend a beautiful princess and her faithful dog, a wicked magician and his magic onion, a handsome prince, a hungry dragon, and a castle in an enchanted blue forest, and you have what looks like a typical fairy tale. But The Puppet Place adds hilarious twists to the plot that throws all stereotypes to the wind. The Princess and the Dragon become friends, the Prince has to use his brains, not his muscles, to solve his problems, and there is even hope for the wicked Magician.
