Radio and early Television was the golden age of American ventriloquism. Performers such as Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy, Paul Winchell with Jerry Mahoney,
and Shari Lewis with Lamb Chop were staples of the airwaves.
Now there is a vent rebirth.
In America we’ve got Jeff Dunham, Terry Fator and Ronn Lucas.
In England, Australia & New Zealand
there are Nina Conti and David Strassman.
Come and explore the fascinating world of Ventriloquism.
(And don’t worry, we’re leaving the scary ones locked tightly
in their suitcases.)

During the months when sitting outside in the Portland weather would be not much fun at all, we hold our performances inside the museum where it's nice and warm and dry. We've got a whole series of shows lined up.

What's beautiful young fairy tale Princess Kathryn to do when her favorite birthday present gets pilfered on the morning of her ninth birthday?
Join us for madcap adventure as our fiery little Princess dons a suit
of armor and, with the help of gentle old Sir Sampson, the Knight, battles spooky Spiders, bedazzles a Unicorn and matches wits
with a dragon - all in a single afternoon.
This marionette show is fun for all ages!
