If you’re searching for the best school assemblies in California, you have come to the right place. Our puppet theater school assemblies will thrill your young students and charm your teachers. Best of all, we have a large catalog of shows to choose from.
Our puppet shows are funny, thrilling, and interactive. Our past clients love our shows:
“We really enjoyed having the Puppet Art Theater Company at our welcome event. Our students and families were all entertained. It was great correlating the career aspect of what it is like being a puppeteer at the end. Fun was had by all!”
Stephanie Vasquez, Principal, Napa Valley Unified School District
But you might be asking…
First, these programs serve as superb “jumping off” points for wider discussions on English Language Arts Standards and Visual and Theater Arts Standards. They give children opportunities to experience elements of California curriculum in fun and novel ways.
Second, kids love puppets! They love seeing these whimsical beings brought to life. Even older children, who ‘know’ puppets aren’t alive, get swept away by the fun. And here’s a secret: so do adults! There’s a reason why even TV news programs treat popular characters like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as though they are real beings.
Finally, puppet theater allows for elements of theater such as conflict to come to life. Our puppets draw audiences in. They’re not only passively watching the story. They become emotionally invested in the plot and the fate of the main character. It’s no different than reading a book and getting swept away!
Want a story your kiddos have never seen before? We’ve got you covered. Several of our productions are original stories created by us for young audiences. Our original shows guarantee your students a fresh, exciting experience they’ve never had before.
Yes, interactive! The hero of each story needs your students’ help to complete their quest, get away from the bad guy, learn an important lesson, or whatever the plot of the story requires.
We know each school is different. Some schools have larger budgets or larger assembly spaces. Other schools may have tighter restrictions on both budget and space. We’ve created a roster of productions to fit your school’s space and budget.
Check out the differences below for our Standard and Deluxe shows.
These programs fit practically anywhere! Classrooms, gyms, cafeterias, multi-purpose rooms, and even classrooms are perfect locations for these fun and engaging assemblies. Perfect for small audiences of 20 children to large audiences of 400 and everything in between!
These programs feature our eye-catching, sparkly 8-foot puppet stage which plays visually for large or small audiences. And they set up in less than 30 minutes and break down in less than 20 minutes. That’s fast! For schools when transition time is critical, these programs are your easiest, best choices.
Each show is about 45 minutes long and features music, comedy, and fun audience interaction. After each show, the audience discovers how the puppets and the entire production come to life.
These programs feature everything in the Standard shows…with some very big differences.
Our Deluxe shows feature state-of-the-art theater effects, lighting, and more! Imagine your students watching a puppet running along as the set around him shifts and changes with high-tech real-time animation!
Additionally, with the aid of an assembly performance area that can be darkened, we can add special blacklight effects, projected sets, and much more.
Because these programs use special state-of-the-art theatrical equipment, the set-up time for these shows is one hour. They break down in about 30 minutes. These programs are best suited for schools when transitioning the assembly area from one activity to another is not so time-sensitive.
After 25+ years serving Northern California schools with our amazing, interactive puppet theater school assemblies, we are fortunate to book up months in advance for popular school themes, such as Read Across America.
And we are now serving the entire state of California! With a “satellite branch” of Puppet Art Theater serving Southern California, we can bring our loveable puppet characters and stories to any school in California.
With a territory that big, please don’t delay in reaching out. Your school’s students and faculty will love our shows. But only if you call now before your preferred date is taken.
