Penny & the Puppettes | live, interactive, 30-50 minute musicals with puppets and comedy
Live, interactive, 30-50 minute musicals with puppets and comedy. We perform for schools, libraries, corporate events, festivals, birthday parties, parks, and book stores in New York City. Every show is customized and age appropriate. Each song begins with a brief skit involving a puppet and a problem that the kids get to help fix.
