First, we needed some stars for the show. Here we see the stuffed animals which we re-engineered into rod puppets for the show. From left to right. Pitch, Griz O'gator (Griz) and Pandora (above).

Then we took them completely apart and modified them, and added their accessories like shoes, chains, belts, etc.

Here we see the stars with most of the rest of the cast, including four marionette birds, six 10" rod puppet teddy bears, and 10 smaller rod puppet bears (not shown). The teddies were stuffed animals to which we added rods, while the marionette birds were store bought puppets, which we accessorized with lots of ostrich feathers, sunglasses, and other fun things.

We also bought musical instruments for the stars:
a keyboard for Pitch, a Guitar for Griz,
and a set of drums for Pandora.

This gives you an indication of how tall the stars of the show are. Steve Overton is holding Griz by the rod, which comes out of the back of his head. He also has two clear plastic rods, one on each arm.

Here's a shot of the stage without the puppets.
It's 9 feet wide by 12 feet deep.
There's a front barrier to keep the audience where they belong, which also serves to hold spotlights; a front performing area, which is a drape covering the two containers the show travels in; the rear performing area with two playboards and an upper draped area above which puppets can perform; and a side table which can either serve to hold the boom box music source or provide an additional playing level when placed on the front performing area.

Here's Candace Dobson working Pandora. You can see Pandora's stand by Candace's right leg. The head rod drops into the open end of the plastic pipe.
