Hello and
welcome to the world of the Robert Rogers Puppet Company, a premiere touring
repertory puppet theater based in Castle Creek, New York, just a stone's
throw - a long stone's throw - away from New York City. Since its
beginning in 1980, it has presented a wide-ranging array of original plays
throughout the United States and internationally in countries including Canada, the Czech Republic,
Tunisia, Colombia, Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China.
Specializing in productions for young people, the troupe has
created and utilized hundreds of beautifully crafted string, hand and rod puppets for
performances in theaters, concert halls, museums, festivals and schools.

Its
mission
has always been to inspire creativity in children, to maintain their
innate sense of wonder, to foster positive thinking and help them develop
a better understanding of the world around them. |
Celebrate the 2013
Summer Reading Theme with: |
|
Hans Christian Anderson's The
Nightingale, and the eternally popular Aesop's
Fables.
Original productions
such as Professor Pennywhistle and the Round the World
Storybook, The Bugtown Follies, and Hobnobbin' Goblins
have also found their legions of fans.
Robert
Rogers, also an accomplished musician and composer, has also brought his
puppets to the concert stage, where they have appeared in the comedic
Erroneous Encores and with orchestras in productions of
Peter and the Wolf and Hansel and Gretel.
It's no exaggeration to say that
from his workshop have spring a vast array of characters and stories,
which have delighted audiences far and wide, from the Indianapolis Children's Museum to
the Beijing Children's Palace.
