Testimonials

  • My son has been coming to the shows since he was 11 months old. I cannot begin to express how helpful, kind, patient and attentive to children the staff and puppet actors are. They have all helped my child open up, grow, express himself and learn in a social, fun and safe environment. He has become not only a regular but now a friend to all who works there. I am so lucky to have fun this place for my son and my sanity and creativeness. We love you Puppetonia!! (Kelly)
