EPIC PARTIES FOR 1-5YRS!

We’re masters of keeping the youngest audiences engaged (and obsessed) the entire time, so you can sit back and enjoy.

Each story incorporates dancing, instruments, dress-up "photo-ops," one-on-one time with our handmade puppets, and bubble time as well as unique story-specific activities. Munchkins are on their feet throughout the show, active participants on a magical journey.

“The performers were fantastic, engaging, kind, and full of energy. The stories they told were heartwarming, creative, and so much fun. It’s rare to find something that delights both kids and parents, but this show really did!”

“So interactive and fun! Love that the performers took the time to learn all the kids’ names and had many different ways of including them in the show.”

“My four year old was quite entranced! I liked the movement in beginning, very developmentally appropriate to have children move before they’re sitting for a bit. I also liked the break in performance so the children could engage with puppets.”
~Alexandria F.

The Nitty Gritty!

Our two performers arrive 30 minutes before showtime to set up.

Optional party add-ons

Sparkle Shapes Face Painting


Sparkle Shapes Face Painting imbues simple shapes with meaning and magic. We offer a visual menu of designs custom to each show theme. We dazzle each shape with a sparkle and seal it with a gemstone selected by your munchkin.

Intergalactic Baby Rave


If you want to ensure your munchkins are completely wiped out by the end of the party so you can get a break, our Intergalactic Baby Rave adds on 20-30 minutes of high-energy dance and movement activities. Guaranteed to exhaust even the most hyperactive of tots, our space-themed games + dances vary depending on venue and age range.

FAQ

Puppetsburg is a fully mobile company meaning we do not have our own performance space to rent out. However, we’re pros at running incredible, engaging performances in whatever venue you have available (Including in your apartment or a nearby park!)

We bring everything we need and can work with any space!

Our regular stages are 6' wide x 3.5' tall, and our ideal setup includes:

  • • An 8x4 clearing for the stage
  • • Room in front for kids to dance and interact with the puppets
  • • A half-circle of chairs for adults

That said, if this amount of space or seating isn’t available, no worries—we’re happy to adjust and work with whatever space you have!

We’re happy to work with your schedule (pending availability) but the most common show start times for birthday parties are between 10:30 AM - 4:30 PM on weekends.

We recommend planning your show start time at least 30 minutes after you’ve told guests to arrive to allow for late-comers.

Yes! Please email us with their requirements (or even better an insurance template) and we’ll be able to get you a copy of our COI within 2-3 business days.

A standard tip is anything from $20-$100 per performer!

You can tip with cash, send tips via Venmo at @puppetsburgbrooklyn, or Zelle to [email protected].

For non-custom shows, the official policy is that you can reschedule anytime up to 2 weeks in advance with no fee (pending availability). Although if you just want to move the party back a couple of hours or to a different day on the same weekend, we can usually waive the fee. If you need to reschedule within 24 hours of your party, there's a $250 fee.

For fully custom shows, because of the custom build-out, set-up, and storage required the fee to reschedule is $500.

Sometimes rescheduling doesn’t work and you need to outright cancel your show.

For non-custom shows, cancellation means forfeiting your $250 deposit. If you cancel within 24 hours of your showtime, we’ll take an additional $100 out of the balance paid ($350 total).

There are no refunds or partial refunds for custom shows. Custom shows require a lot of upfront work and expenses before your show date so we are unable to offer any refunds on custom bookings.

Puppetsburg Founder Sarah Todes has a superpower: creating original shows about anything you can dream up; past Custom shows have included: “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Show,” the “Queen of Hearts Royal Tea Party Show,” and the “Two Peas in a Pod Show” for two adorable birthday twins, and shows that combine several disparate elements and favorite songs into one seamless, joyful experience. We can be as extra as you’re ready to be: think take-home custom costume elements, bespoke treasure hunts, puppet-sized replicas of your child’s daycare or grandma’s house, and more. We’re also happy to add a couple custom elements into a preexisting show. If your imagination is sparked, don’t be shy-- reach out to [email protected].
