You might want to check their schedule of performances in advance to see what's most suitable for your children's ages. I recommend the Center for Puppetry Arts for those coming to or living in Atlanta. And we went through the museum, which is the most comprehensive of its kind in the US. For four decades, I had the honor and challenge of being the Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Puppetry Arts, from its humble inception to todays 4 million operation. Different shows are geared towards different age groups-they even have an adult series, which runs from very avante garde to very cultural.Īnyway, the show ticket price for Family Shows also includes entry into the museum and a Create-A-Puppet workshop, so each of us made our own puppet, which was fun. My parents- New Yorkers-and other older folk in the audience very much appreciated the touches of that era that were in the show). I took my 6, 10, and almost 14 year old sons, as well as my 60+ parents, to see a show, which they all enjoyed (It was The Shoemaker & the Elves, but set in 1940s NY. It was messy, but that is what makes crafts so fun. Luckily I was there to help my nieces make theirs. The puppet making workshop afterwards is okay. Kids love shows, but you have to get the adults to the shows because they are the ones paying! My advice is ask questions before you go about what the show is about and how many people are in it, etc. I'm not sure if they have scaled down on the budget for shows, but in my opinion they could get rid of everything in the musuem but the interactive puppets and the muppet pigs (which is pretty cool to see) and just do all cool shows and they'd make more money. What happened? The last show was about a superhero bug and that was mediocre.
#CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS ATLANTA GA FULL SIZE#
You'd think they'd tell you this! The plant show was a production with full size body puppets. A wonderland for visitors of all ages and, hands-down, one of Atlantas most unique attractions, the museum houses a treasury of puppets, some of which you. My brother and sister in law were bored to tears as well as everyone else in the theatre. It was a one man show where a man used kitchen utensils to act out a whole story. The next time I brought my in-laws and their entire family thinking that the puppet show would be just as good. The Center for Puppetry Arts opened to the public on September 23, 1978, when Kermit the Frog and his creator Jim Henson cut the ceremonial ribbon. It was about plants and well thought out and fun. The second time I went to a kids puppet show which was awesome. The first time I brought my whole family only to bore them with the musuem and a high price. I've been to the Puppetry Arts at least 4 times.
