Participatory puppet-stage birthday theatre
Watch a puppet show, then try the little stage yourself
Through Me To You Puppetry / Leigh Baltzer
Leigh Baltzer’s current birthday menu pairs a puppet performance with hands-on play using the puppet stage and moving-mouth or arm-rod characters. Children can improvise with the puppets or make their own short show, and the performer invites discussion of the birthday honoree’s interests. The separate birthday booking page explicitly describes this performance-and-participation format.
Current location note / listed area: Massachusetts professional service location; mobile birthday programs by inquiry
Family birthday inquiry, not an adult or wedding package. Confirm age suitability, voluntary participation, supervised handling, exact puppets and repertoire, staging space, accessibility, duration and date acceptance. No branded-character affiliation or therapeutic benefit is claimed. Booking copy retains a pandemic-era paragraph; obtain current in-person arrangements directly. Massachusetts professional location is attributed to the matching member-authored guild listing, not a residential address or old Brookline biography. The April 2026 host program corroborates activity only, not availability.
