Well, we've finally gone and done it.

For years, we've wanted to make a video of one of our Olde World Puppet Theatre puppet productions to show potential backers what the series would look like.

We chose to do Witch Key, our story of how the naughty Prince Aaron gets in trouble with a Witch, and may get eaten by a Dragon.

We're well on the way. We've started building the sets, as well as remaking three of the puppets.

The links at the right show the progress we're making.

AND, if you click Here you can see some footage we've already shot.

Enjoy

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!, I'm Ping Pong, the Panda, and I'm your tour guide here at the museum.

I'm glad you could join us here at the Puppet Museum. I've got lots of things to show you and for you to do, as we explore the Wonderful World of Puppets.

Building the museum is a huge job, and we keep adding pages to it all the time. Every time you come back, you'll see more and more pages up and running.

Just click on the big marbles down below to go to the pages of your choice. The pages described in green are the most recent ones that we have added to the museum.

Check out my section, Ping Pong's Puppet Workshop, by clicking on the brown marble below. Steven M. Overton & Marty Richmond, the owners of the Olde World Puppet Theatre have photographed and described almost four years of puppet building and other projects.

I've got 100 pages of construction up so far, and you can follow our progress by clicking on the brown marble below.

The latest project is a walkaround River Otter costume for the Fort Vancouver Regional Library District.
Sophie, as they call her, is going to be used in their get-children-to-read program.
To jump right there to see her progress, click here. She was just finished, and there are ten pages describing her construction.

We've also added a project of our Northwest wildlife puppet mural to build. Click on the Green Marble below.

We've opened our first exhibit page, so click on the Orange "Puppetmuseum Exhibits" link below to walk through that wing.

Have fun here at the Puppet Museum.

Here you will find a long list of links to other puppet pages for you to enjoy - Click on the red marble. This now lists links to over 50 countries around the world. Please check my Golden Rules (see below) before exploring this section.

Here you'll find projects to download and work on, including a rod and shadow puppet of my friend, Chelsey the Baby Dragon, a page to color that has an important message, and the Three Billy Goats Ruff and the charactes from Robin Hood for you to make.
We've added the characters from Robin Hood for you to color and assemble.
Our latest addition is a project featuring our Northwest Puppet Mural for you to cut out and assemble. Have fun!!!

Here you will find pictures of puppets from the Olde World Puppet Theatre, located in Portland, Oregon, USA. If you look closely, you will even find more pictures of me!!!

Here you will also find our newest feature - The Puppet Workshop. Over the past few years, The Olde World Puppet Theatre has been building a lot of puppets for other organizations to use in their shows. These pages show you how we do it, from start to finish. We'll share our successes (along with any failures) and try to give you a feeling of how the projects get done.
