Performing memorable and unique puppet shows that create a sense of wonder and fun. A not-just-for-kids puppet show geared with both adults as well as children in mind. Our shows are perfect for company events, school assemblies, community festivals, private parties, and shopping centers -- all ages and all occasion.
The Clement McCrae Puppet Show performed at our Holy Roast BBQ event. We had in excess of 80 kids & adults and both young and old enjoyed the show. They were very prompt in returning emails and were very professional and made the entire process very easy. We thank them for performing at our event and adding lots of value to our kids activities. Thank you, Donna.
Response from Clement McCrae Puppet Shows:
Thank you Donna. This was a great family event and we were so happy to have been apart of it. When we arrived our representative met us and showed us right to where we were to perform. We had plenty of time to set up. It was so great that both parents and kids got to see the show together and fun seeing the parents helping us out after the show for the demonstration and then the kids as well. Wish you all the best.
We had the puppet show for our daughter's birthday, it was great fun not only for the children but the adults as well. Unique, fun, and funny presentation.
Response from Clement McCrae Puppet Shows:
Thank you Zara. We remember your party, and we had a fabulous time with your family! After our show we did this little bit and got the family involved with it. For us, the biggest kick is getting to see the smiles on the faces of the adults AND the kids who are smiling together. That is always the high-5 moment for us. Nice to hear from you!
We booked the Clement McCrae Puppt Show for the first time at the Platte County Fair and could not have been happier. They are very professional and enteract with the patrons, both young and old. We will have them back and I would very much recommend them for your next event.
Response from Clement McCrae Puppet Shows:
Thank you so much. Platte County Fair has already booked us back for next year -- for the 150th year of the County Fair!!!!! The audience this year was so responsive and seeing smiles on the faces of adults and kids together is the icing on the cake. Looking forward to next year! Great Staff too!
