The Forgetful Hero


The Forgetful Hero is a fairy tale in the style of "Shrek" that encourages audience participation. It's perfect for Birthday Parties as the birthday boy or girl gets to be the kidnapped Prince or Princess and have a personal conversation with Ned the Dragon! But don't worry, Ned is a vegetarian who only kidnapped the child because he was lonely. In any case Evan will soon be along to save the day!

The Technical requirements for The Forgetful Hero are quite modest. We need an area that is 6 1/2 feet by 4 1/2 feet wide to set up the stage (there will need to be additional space for the audience). We will also need an electrical outlet for lights and sound, we use about the same amount of electricity as a microwave so if the outlet you have assigned to us tends to blow a fuse you may need to unplug some items before we arrive! We also will need 30-45 minutes to set up.


What You Get:

  • A Fully Produced Live Puppet show with Sound, Music and Lights.
  • We arrive 30-45 min early to set up.
  • Before the show we talk with the audience about our Puppet Show.
  • Each Child will recieve a stick puppet to participate with during the show and keep afterwards. See picture above to the right for an example! ***See special note***
  • The Birthday girl/boy will recieve a larger more ornate puppet princess/prince to keep.
  • The show lasts 25-30 min depending on participation.
  • *For an additional Fee the Puppets will stay attend the Party or Event interact with the Kids after the show!*
