Penny's Puppet Productions

Making the World a better Place One Puppet Show
At a time.

A Note From Penny:
Dear Friends, Families, Fans, Puppets are my life. I love performing for the pre-K and K-3 set, and my training in early education informs my work. All my shows are original mini-musicals. Each show I create is designed to inspire the audience to participate, to interact with the story. I want to instill a love of music and language. I want to stimulate imaginations. I believe that puppets are one of the best ways to support a child’s emotional development. Puppets naturally help in developing an appreciation and awareness for our similarities and acceptance of our differences.

About Penny:
Every kid has a big dream and Penny’s was to be a puppeteer. Ever since she caught a glimpse of the Muppets at the age of 3, Penny was hooked. But it wasn’t until after she had earned her Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood and had finished her Masters of Curriculum and Instruction at Portland State University, that Penny finally followed her dream and became a full time puppeteer and storyteller. Penny’s Master’s Thesis was “Teaching with Puppets in the Classroom.” In 2002, Penny started Penny’s Puppet Productions. Penny has created over 50 original story-musicals that feature dozens of puppets with their own unique personalities and voices. Penny performs in pre-K and K-3 classrooms, is a favorite at local libraries, and is a regular at community festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest. She also appears as an “Artist in Healthcare” at Emanuel Children’s Hospital.

Mission:
Penny’s Puppet Productions is a professional one-woman puppet company dedicated to making the world a better place, one puppet show at a time! Offering joyful programs that ignite the imagination and fill the room with excitement and laughter, Penny’s live performances use puppets, story, and song to inspire and entertain children of all ages.

“We love Penny’s Puppets. My 4 year old son is always enthralled with the stories and music. He’s been going to Penny’s shows since he was 1 and is always excited to go. The age appropriate original stories are always funny, clever, and engaging. We highly recommend you go!”

~ Chari Smith, Mom to Miles (4) and Max (1)

"I have the Best
Job In the World"
-Penny Walter-

Penny performed at my daughter’s third birthday party. She was a HUGE hit! The kids were enthralled the entire time; best of all they engaged, getting up to dance, to talk back to the puppets, to try to grab them... (and BTW, Penny was a huge sport throughout). All the parents loved it too! It was seriously the most “civilized” gathering of 15+ children under the age of 4 in one spot. Get Penny for your party!
