The International Show

Developed in response to requests of audiences who want more puppet mastery demonstrated in other shows, Peter Hart delivers another fascinating show of puppetry skills with a new production "The International Show". The performance employs unique puppets from different cultures to give insight into the world of puppetry, broaden world-view, and expand appreciation of the arts.

The word "deliver" serves as a key concept for the performance as Peter Hart takes on the role of a UPS - style delivery man and rolls in packing crates of different sizes for the show. The premise is your venue has just received a puppet shipment from far off lands and, together, Mr. Hart and the audience will discover the contents of each crate as they are unpacked for the first time on stage.

As they are quickly opened, the boxes reveal their wondrous puppet contents with Mr. Hart there to bring each puppet character to life. A large world map is used in the production to give students a graphic idea of where countries of origin are for the puppets demonstrated in the performance.
