Our original, main stage performances and our smaller, touring shows provide libraries with options to fit your unique space and needs. Our professional performers arrive with everything needed to create a unique experience for your children and families. We come self-contained with all of our puppets, scenery, staging, sound system, and (space permitting) lighting. Our shows have many literary tie-ins, so many librarians have us come back year after year! Virginia libraries may be eligible for funding assistance through a touring assistance grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
We have performed these shows repeatedly for libraries and have found that the below shows work best in this setting. Please be sure to note the recommended target audience for each show as it varies from show to show. Generally, our shows work best in large rooms with children seated on the floor. We are always happy to do back-to-back shows to accommodate your entire community and will provide a block-booking discount for performances at an entire library system. Contact us with questions!
