FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We charge a base price of $150.00 for shows in the Greater Triangle area, and more for venues further away.To have an idea of pricing we add twenty dollars an hour of driving time once outside the Triangle area. We also charge more for shows for LARGE audiences at fairs and festivals. We do offer a discount program for those customers who have referred us to friends and families.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I call or email them and speak directly about their needs and whether we can meet those needs. I the customer is interested we then send an invoice that asks for a twenty-five dollar deposit to SAVE their date and time. Once we receive the signed invoice and the deposit the show is booked. Note; if we are expected to perform out side we do require and electric plug and some sort of shelter. Customers should also realize that our puppets and stage are not water or wind proof, so we prefer inside gigs or those under a pavilion if possible.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of both The Puppeteers of America and the Puppetry Guild of the Carolinas. These Guilds share knowledge and experience with all their members, and hold conventions and festivals where puppeteers from all over the world can join together for inspiration and learning. I also have a BFA from Rocheville University in NY, and a diploma in Digital Animation from The living Arts College in Wake Forest, NC.
