Puppet Wagon
Puppet Wagon is a wheeled theater with a curved roof and drawn curtains. Two tiny performers wait at the back of the stage, and the whole wagon is ready to roll on to the next little town.
Strings raises the curtain. Tonight's story begins with someone brave enough to start, which Strings considers the only part of any show that really matters. A bell waits by the wagon to call the audience in, and a stack of books keeps the scripts close.
It suits a storyteller, a puppet maker, a children's writer or a small theater group that likes to share a little show. The stage is small, the audience is warm and the curtain is always ready to rise.
