The Brick Theater Presents PUPPETSBURG and BABY PUPPETSBURG

Bring your munchkin to an interactive hour-long show with music, bubbles, and, of course, puppets! Our fast-paced performance will keep your child engaged, laughing, and learning, and you will be supporting the local artists who have contributed to PUPPETSBURG's range of characters and props. With a new show every week and characters your child will get to know and love, PUPPETSBURG is sure to become a weekly highlight!

"We begin each day at PUPPETSBURG listening to music, handing out name-tag stickers, and playing with toys so the kids get comfortable with the environment and each other. The rest of our songs, dances, and activities change every show-but are always interactive and fun. We might bring Bunny around in his new blue racecar and teach the kids how to buckle-up, honk, and vroom around, play with a parachute, rock out with a drum or shakey eggs, or solve the mystery of the A,B,C boxes before it is everyone's favorite time. . . BUBBLE TIME!

After this, the story-oriented part of the puppet show begins. You might meet Nana, a rockin' grandma who loves the cha-cha-cha, Yanni, the construction worker with a side job as a backup dancer for Lady Gaga, or Suzie the British Doctor. You will certainly meet Clementine, a tomboy puppster who is always up to something, and who always needs the help of her friends

Popular shows include The Love-Robot, in which Clementine needs help with homework, orders a robot online, and ends up contending with a very unusual piece of large-hearted machinery, or The Genie Snail show, in which Clementine helps Nana clean out her attic and, being granted 3 wishes by a snail in a turban, learns to think before you wish! On a rainy day you might see The Teddy Bear Show, where we learn about lots of different bears on a search for the perfect bear hug. We also have many shows that plant seeds for environmental awareness-like The Going Fishing Show, in which all Clementine catches is a stinky shoe and an old pot until she faces The Big Garbage Truck and has to take matters into her own hands. Whatever the subject, we capture the focus of toddlers and keep them invested and laughing the whole time. We can't wait to see you there!

Testimonials from our flagship location in Hoboken:

"We've been coming to Puppetonia for a couple of months now and I can see how my daughter as changed. She started to socialize more, play with other kids, and most importantly, she feels better around new people. She loves the show so much that she doesn't want to go home!"
- Shelly and Ava

"My daughter and I have been attending Puppetonia since she was 6 months old. She always loves the interaction and the shows are never too advanced or too simple. Each kid finds his/her own level of enjoyment."
- Lorelei and Adelle
