The usual puppet show audience consists of mainly 3-9 year-olds. For the rests of the ages out there: I include plenty of colorful characters, music and action for the shorter attention spans of the younger audience members as well as lots of family-friendy humor and creative artistry for the young at heart.

All of my shows have a run-time of approximately 30 minutes.
After the show, I explain how the puppet work. A complete presentation is about 30-40 minutes.

After every performance, Nick removes the stage curtains and demonstrates the puppets he designed and built specifically for each original production. Audiences are constantly thanking Nick after the performance for showing them how the show works. Many confess they enjoy the explanation afterwards as much as they enjoyed performance itself.
