Meet a troupe of "traditional with a modern twist" puppets and puppeteers. Together they have travelled to many lands and have performed and sharpened their skills in places that range from Alaska to Zanzibar, and from the sophisticated and urban to the tribal and exotic.

  Now they're ready to travel to your special event. These extra large, colorful Marionette characters are sure to delight and charm young and old wherever they appear.

  "Stars On Strings Shows" is the outreach branch of the Puppetry Arts Center of New Orleans.  Many Productions are designed to highlight the unique culture and history that gives New Orleans its special flavor.
Performances by master puppeteers are in a fast paced musical variety style, with large short strung Marionettes.
  The puppeteers work in full view of the audience, Cabaret Style, and consider the Marionettes to be instruments, like the violin or cello.
  By pulling on the strings the puppets move, providing a visualization to the rhythm of the music and thus drawing a corresponding emotion from the viewer,
"Hands On" participation is an integral part of the program. Children are also invited to join with the puppeteers to work special puppets.
