How to Make a Puppet Show

All aboard! We can’t wait to show you around Choo Choo Revue and all the exciting things we have in store.

As our first new show in 40 years, Choo Choo Revue is a huge milestone for the theater and innovate adventure into our future.

Featuring all new puppets, new sequences, and new surprises, Choo Choo Revue requires the hands of many collaborators, artists, and help. Trains of Thought, our monthly blog, peeks behind the curtain to show you just how a puppet show gets made!

Here’s just a few of the numbers:

• Just one puppet takes 300 hours to make!

• We have 45 brand new puppets planned for Choo Choo Revue! 

• Over 30+ fabricators, artists, musicians, dramaturgs, set designers, costume designers, and collaborators are helping us create Choo Choo! 

• 100s of concept designs and new ideas strung together with 1000 miles of monofilament

  
  Years in creation, we can’t wait to debut this fantastic new show for you in May 2026. Stay tuned and follow along to learn more as we interview collaborators, show processes, and share our resources in the creation of this brand new show.
