Pricing
Wild Wonder Show (30 minutes) — $300
Includes performance + standard setup/tear-down.
Two Shows, Back-to-Back (same day, same location, same setup) — $500
Perfect for park days, festivals, big crowds, or two age groups.
Travel
- 0–25 miles: included
- Over 25 miles: $1.25 per mile (round-trip) beyond 25 miles (Example: 40 miles away = 15 miles beyond the included radius → 30 “extra” round-trip miles → $37.50 travel fee.)
What I Need From You
- A performance area about 8’ wide x 6’ deep (more is great, but I can work tight)
- Audience seated in front (kids up front = maximum magic)
- Access to the space 30–45 minutes before showtime for setup
- If outdoors: shade is your best friend (wind is not)
Optional (Extra Fun)
If you want more time, we don’t “pad the script.” We add value.
- Meet-the-Marionettes Photo Moment (10 minutes) — $50
- Short Q&A / “How Marionettes Work” (10 minutes) — $50
- Chat with Puppeteers & puppet-maker (20 minutes)- $100
QUESTIONS?
Is 30 minutes enough
Yes. It’s the sweet spot—high energy, no wandering attention, no filler.
Do you do multiple shows in one day?
Yep. The back-to-back option exists because it’s efficient and it works.
Indoor vs outdoor
Indoor is easiest. Outdoor is doable with a calm spot + a wind plan.
Do you do Birthday parties?
No, sorry but we do not.
