Testimonials

“Beech Tree Puppets present a unique puppet theatre experience that is calm, gentle and quiet, with beautiful singing and unamplified music, gorgeous sets and lively felted wool puppets. The shows have a fairy tale quality that is peaceful and entrancing. CPAE is delighted with BTP and has invited them back repeatedly. They hold children’s attention in quiet fascination. Because of their musical and artistic training, they present a high-level artistic experience….”

“Beech Tree’s performances expose the children to beautiful, classical singing and handcrafted, evocative puppets and sets. From an educator’s point of view we find their traditional stories, that reflect aspects of the natural world, weave easily into our curriculum beyond the arts, particularly science-related themes. The combination of story-telling, music and visuals and, of course, puppets appeals to all types of learners and seems to enhance children’s recall of content. Every time they are here the children are thoroughly engaged in the performance. I highly recommend Beech Tree Puppets’ compelling performances to people of all ages.”
