Best Puppet Theater Orange Near Me

4worldlovers: Welcome to the world of imagination. As you watch a show presented by The Puppets & Players Little Theatre, it is easy to imagine yourself in some long ago, faraway land, as the marionettes move gracefully across the stage in this enchanting, one-of-a-kind, Italian Baroque Puppet Theater. The stage itself is fully equipped with high quality speakers and sound system, lighting and special effects all to help create a magical event for any occasion. All you have to do is invite your guests.

The colorful characters are captivating as they sing and dance their way through wild and sometimes dangerous adventures. The stories are usually adaptations of familiar fairy tales. A glittering rainbow magically drop from the sky and dancing flowers may surprise you while silly scarecrows dance a jig. Wicked witches disappear in a puff of smoke and pirates that swashbuckle and boast, but never you mind… there’s always a “Happily Ever After.”

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, master puppeteers are busy at work. As the curtains open to reveal dazzling sets, handcrafted marionettes come to life under the skillful manipulation of the puppeteer and take you on an adventure of fairytales from the past.

Even if your kids can’t sit still for more than five minutes, chances are they’ll make it through a puppet show. It’s the perfect first-time theater experience and one they will always remember.


Some of the stories come from our ancient past, bringing with them new ideas. One of my favorite things I hear from adults is, “Well, I think I enjoyed that as much as the kids.” I have heard that said more times then I can remember.

4worldlovers: Masks are no longer required at our performances. We do strongly recommend you wear them, though.
