People behind the puppets

Over the past 60 years, a huge range of designers have brought their unique puppet designs to life on the Little Angel Theatre stage – from marionettes in Angelo to light-up foxes in WOW! It’s Night-Time and cardboard creations in the online adaptation of I Want My Hat Back.

In this new online series, Little Angel’s very own Little Angel puppet will meet and interview these designers to find out more about their experiences of puppetry design and why they love working in the field.

Each designer will also bring along an easy puppet make that children can follow along at home.
