We are ready to help you with on-line performances of our favorite shows. We can host a page for your users, set up a Zoom performance, or be a part of your Facebook live event.
Have the Rainbow Puppets join your virtual story times with songs, stories, and craft ideas!
We are currently booking live performances in Virginia. We will follow all state and local guidelines regarding the number of attendees, performance safety, and proper distancing. Should audience size restrictions remain in force, we can break up your group into smaller sizes and perform for each group individually.
To help with social distancing, we can present our CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL ouside your facility. This special program features our walk-around puppets which can be presented without large stage requirements. If you have a large playground area, this may be the ideal way to bring a field trip to your door.
While we aren't on the road right now, that doesn't mean we aren't singing and having a great time! Call us to assist with your summer reading program, provide online workshops, and more! We also have lots of free activities available right here!
Coming soon! Our brand new production of "The Marvelous Land of Oz." The program features an amazing vocal cast of Oz favorites including performers from Broadway's WICKED, the MGM classic THE WIZARD OF OZ, the audio hit CHRONICLES OF OZ, the Madison Square Garden national tour of OZ, and Broadway's THE WIZ!
Sponsored, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Virginia Arts Commission, the Newport News Arts Commission, and the York County Arts Commission.
Available starting April 30, 2021.
Available for virtual shows on May 15, 2021.
Join the award-winning Rainbow Puppets as they share “Terrific Tales.” Through original music and colorful puppets, they present relevant re-tellings of some of the most recognizable tales of all times.
By not talking to strangers, Red Riding Hood makes her way safely to Grandma’s house. Hansel and Gretel are not so lucky. When their father heads off to work, they ignore his instructions and end up lost in forest. Fortunately, they are able to outsmart the woman at the candy house and are reunited with their father. Finally, Goldilocks benefits from the generosity of Three Bears.
Open your eyes to all of the wonders hidden in the wetlands of Virginia as Rainbow Puppet Productions presents “The Wondrous Wetland Review.” Over fifty puppets and a rich musical score bring the tidal saltmarsh to life. This tour is presented by grants from the Virginia Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts and York County.
Wide-Eyed Wanda, a barred owl who lives in the saltmarsh takes Seemore the Seagull on a fun and educational tour of this often overlooked natural resource. Along the way they encounter Bert, the Blue Heron who sings a big-band swing tune, “If You Wanna Dance Around.” Like Great Garbo before her, Alana the Great White Egret sings, “I Just Wanna Be Alone.” The audience joins in on a singing, hand-clapping hoe down led by Farley, the Fiddler Crab.
If it's a classic story or a children's show, the Rainbow Puppets have it. Victor Herbert's "Toyland!" and Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf." Mother Goose shares rhymes and stories like "The Three Little Pigs" and "Little Red Riding Hood." And if you like Pirates and Mermaids... we have them, too.
The Rainbow Puppets are experts at taking the complicated and making it super-easy to understand. Our puppets help explain the complexity of the Amazon Rain Forest, the rise and fall of the Dinosaurs, the wonder of the Wright Brothers' first flight, the excitement of space travel and the delicacy of the Chesapeake Bay.
From the beginning, the Rainbow Puppet company has stressed the value and importance of every creature on the planet. Every person... every creature is unique and special. Our anti bullying program "Speak Out - The Search for Gold" has become the go-to resource for many schools. Then there are our classic tellings of the Noah and Jonah stories.
Hear songs from the Rainbow Puppets, including David Messick's original compositions for the company. See our shows. And maybe download an album or get our latest cd.
