Every child has a favourite puppet from Sesame Street or The Muppet Show. While Kermit the Frog isn’t about to make a guest appearance any time soon, you can knock the socks off your little one by booking the Vancouver Puppet Theatre<\/a> for their next birthday party. Viktor Barkar and his team of puppets will make any child’s party memorable! It will be the talk of the playground.<\/del><\/p>\n

With more than 10+ years experience working with children, the folks at Vancouver Puppet Theatre are experts in what delights and entertains kids. Whether you are hosting a party in your home, or you are looking to book the Puppet Theatre for a preschool, daycare, summer camp or elementary school, the puppet-professionals can customize their show to any venue and audience.<\/del><\/p>\n

The Vancouver Puppet Theatre performances are based on the European traditions of puppetry. The owner, Viktor Barkar, learned the trade in his native Minsk, Belarus. After the performance, your child will get the chance to interact with different types of puppets and take a close look at their mechanisms and design. You will also be invited to take group photographs with the puppets and masks of \u00a0your choice.<\/del><\/p>\n
