About
Hello Memphis, I'm back from dealing with health issues in Tampa! As a young child I was completely and totally shy, unable to connect with children or adults. My oldest sister saw that I had this problem and brought me some puppets from a trip to Mexico. From that moment on I was in love with all things puppets. I've been performing puppet shows for over 45 years and I do 20 to 30 minute puppet shows to fit most any occasion! I studied the art of puppetry in Milan Italy for three years. I performed my puppets on 7 nationwide TV shows and traveled the US and Europe performing shows back in 1976 through until now. I enjoy balloon sculpting and would love to sculpt balloons at your next event! I do know face painters here in Tampa and even do some face painting myself. I enjoy doing Santa work! This is the time of the year for Santa. I will come to your home to deliver presents on or before Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve's prices are higher than any other times. I can also read Christmas stories to the children with books I can provide or you can provide for me. Bringing happiness to kids of all ages means more to me than anyone knows! I also customize all my shows to meet your parties needs! If it's a birthday or school event I'm ready to bring some fun to your group! I'm 64 years old going on 12 and simply love entertaining children of all ages! My shows can be religious or secular themed. This is what I've done since the age of 15 when I started performing birthday parties throughout the Memphis area! I'm returning to Memphis Tn. But I've loved the Tampa area! I can create most anything and I'm looking for some new projects to get involved in. You can read a recent news story done on me at my web site which is now just finished. Provowspuppets.com Feel free to call me with any questions you may have! BE BLESSED ALWAYS!!!

Provow's Puppets joined our sons first birthday party as a balloon artist and entertained the kids for an hour. He was very punctual and worked very well with children of all ages.

He came to our nursing home for a Halloween party for the residents on only a few days notice for a GREAT price. The residents loved the balloons and face painting. Some were a little skeptical and were jealous after they saw everyone else throughout the day. We are going To try and make this a regular activity
