Technical Needs

Technically speaking, we bring everything! No need to furnish tables, chairs, etc. as we come self contained and fully equipped with our own sound system, staging, even lighting!

Shows can be performed outdoors (for festivals, etc.) and all that is ever really needed is a common electrical outlet and flat, level performance area as described in the diagrams below.

.

Performance Area Dimensions

Below is a diagram of the preferred performance area dimensions as seen from above.
The dimensions do have some flexibility. However, it would be best to achieve the dimensions as described in the diagram. Care should be taken to have the audience seated at least 7 ft. away from the actual performance area and not right on top of the stage.

Use this diagram as a aid when determining how the performance will fit in your intended venue.
If it appears that there is some difficulty for your intended venue to accommodate the dimensions of the performance areas requested, please contact us and, together, we can come to a solution to any challenge.

How The Show Will Look In Your Venue
Below is a diagram to give an idea of what the performance will look like at your venue.
We bring all sound equipment needed (and lights, too!) as well as a classic puppet booth. The performance of the puppets occurs  in an area 40 inches above floor level. This will accomdate the sightlines for most all audiences seated flat on the floor or in chairs. Sightlines for the audience will benefit if the show can be staged on a raised platform (or stage) provided by the venue that will accomodate the 8 ft.W X 8 ft.D dimensions described.

Arrangements For Audience Sightlines & Seating
Below are diagrams for audience seating arrangements.
We are called upon to perform at a variety of venues -- cafeteria stages, gymnasiums, libraries, school activity rooms,  outdoor festivals, and proper theatrical stages to name a few. We have designed this show to meet with all the challenges these types of venues pose.

Audience sightlines and seating arrangements should be a big consideration for the proper enjoyment of the performance by everyone in the audience. The diagrams presented will give a better understanding of different types of audience seating.
