WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S * MACBETH *
#FF28 AUNT EM
#FF08 MOTHER
#FF20 UNCLE HENRY
Here are the latest photos from Trish
Howell, who purchased our Puppet Parts heads and body parts several
years ago as a teaching aid to create and produce the works of William
Shakespeare for her student's educational enjoyment. You may
want to note that her characters play multiple roles in her productions.
For example: The center photo shows the Witch #3 from Macbeth. This
character also plays Katherine in her production of Taming of the Shrew
and Hamlet, below plays Demetrius in Midsummers
Night's Dream.
I believe you will agree that the sky is the limit here; so let your
imagination soar. MB

CINDERELLA
Here are two scenes from
Theo's current production of CINDERELLA: showing the Footman; and
Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother outside in front of her cottage. Theo
adapted our Puppet Parts heads and body parts to create all the
rod-puppets characters you see below. He also designed all of the costumes
and scenery himself.

THE
HOBBIT
Here are some
examples of the first few character's Jeff currently has under
production for the J.R.R.
Tolkien classic The Hobbit.
Jeff decided to
adapt these particular Puppet Parts heads from our catalog to dramatically retell
this story. Notice how he was able to customize these
heads by modifying some features using Paper Clay.

MIDSMUMER'S
NIGHT'S DREAM
Michael,
I thought you might like to see a few of the finished marionettes.
There were 12 made for our show, and I have made 5 more thus far this
summer. We had 9 performances of "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" in June, including two before 9 High School Shakespeare
and Drama classes. They were a huge success, thanks again.
