As many of you know , we have been running a successful puppet theater for almost 2 years now and have quickly grown out of our existing space.

We've show almost super human patience in our hunt for a new place... never jumping into anything that isnt perfect...and never getting our hopes up. Just quietly waiting for the perfect spot.

Well, if the fire code inspection goes well at 8am tomorrow then we will be relocating to a brand new venue...3 times the size of our old one!!

If all goes well i will spend the next month dripping sweat and scraping knuckles as we get the place open!... THE AMERICAN DREAM IS ALIVE AND WELL!! hahaha

I will keep everyone informed!!

Don't forget the college kids that want to make some extra money next month. They may be a big help.

im obsessive compulsive...and a notorious control freak... i would only ruin those poor kids summer...hahahhaa

i work with my father on these projects... quality time with the old man!

That is super exciting Chris! Your dad may be able to manage the college kids and leave you to the OCD tasks... I certainly understand that.. me too.

The medical field uses too many letters! A doctor told me to take M & M's in the PM for a BM in the AM. What?

Congrats and lots of luck.

lol tony...so true!

thanks Ax and Suzie!!

Hi Chris,

I think what you are doing is super exciting as well. Are there many successful puppet theaters around these days? It seems that what you are doing is rare, but I have not done the research.

I saw pictures of your current place. Will you be taking before and after pictures of the new place?

Hi Pam!!

Thanks so much for the kind words!! Puppet theaters are definitely a rare thing these days!! We feel really fortunate!!

I hope to take TONS of pics and share them on the blog and i will link them here!!

Chris... LOVE the COLORS! They are the same as Axtell colors if you didn't know... same as this forum too.
For me the color combo started with "Chat Racket" one of the BURDS. Ax

GREAT MINDS... eh steve? hahaha

back when we started a couple years back we tried about a dozen combinations...and finally settled on "African violet"..."center stage" (lime) and "forceful orange"... theyve been our signature ever since...lol

Colors make such a great impact don't they. You used orange? I saw purple and green combo on your link. Nickelodeon uses orange ... all these are great kid colors! You have a good eye for a kids center and I couldn't be more excited for you!

Ax

YOU ARE SO RIGHT STEVE!! Colors have amazing powers indeed!

here are some more photos... we got the orange side done yesterday and painted the wall behind the stage black (stage hasnt been built yet...it will basically be a faux room in front of the black wall
