Drawbridge Puppet Theater
Drawbridge Productions also offers educational workshops and complete courses to any groups interested in learning more about the art of puppetry. Simple workshops consist of a one hour period of time and the children create 'stick puppets' using materials such as paper plates, construction paper and lots of craft materials. The puppeteers encourage imagination in the children's projects and allow them to express their own ideas. The workshops conclude with the children displaying their work and they are encouraged to bring their puppet to life by giving the puppet a name and a voice.
Puppet courses are offered to schools, and organizations that allow for a period of four, eight or even twelve week periods of time. The Drawbridge Production Puppet Courses are specifically planned for the age group of the people involved and generally consist of planning and writing the script for the show, designing and building the puppet characters, (hand, shadow and marionette puppets) painting scenery and prop building. The course ends with the students presenting their show to their peers and parents.
