The EMAIL form below is by far the easiest way to contact me to organize bookings, however I am happy to take phone calls wherever possible. (Bare in mind I can’t take calls when performing or running a workshop). Thanks. John Evans. Continue Reading →
I offer two different incursions for schools. SHOWS and WORKSHOPS. My SHOWS program includes a puppet show as described on other pages, and are also followed up with my unique ‘show and tell’ session. My puppet making WORKSHOPS are a separate entity or indeed can be done as a follow up to the show session. Continue Reading →
The following is a list of shows I currently perform. The list includes a description of the shows followed by an indication of ages/situations they are most suited to. Continue Reading →
The photo gallery category is where you will find images of puppets made by children in my workshops. Each post is from a different school with students ranging from Prep to grade 6.

Grade 1/2 teachers and students at Morang South Primary School should be commended. Yesterday morning they (even the teachers 🙂 ) sat beautifully during the performance of “The Wizard’s Tale” and joined in sensibly when appropriate during the interactive show. I also ran three workshops for them and they all ran very smoothly with the kids staying on task the entire time. You can see the evidence here in just a small sample of their puppet creations. Thursday 15th & Friday 16th November 2018.

Prep – Grade 2’s at Preston North East Primary today started their week with much fun. First they had a special assembly and were then happily back to watch my show “Three Animal Stories”. Billy the dog was lucky enough to get a few kisses. The children got to explore behind the scenes and are then making wonderful puppet creations. One workshop Monday, two on Tuesday. Here are just a few examples of their work. Monday 12th & Tuesday 13th November 2018.

At short notice the Grade 3/4’s at St Michael’s Primary school in North Melbourne had a puppet incursion today. Firstly they watched “The Wizard’s Tale” followed by a ‘behind the scenes’ explanation. They then went on to make some fabulous puppets in one of my puppet making workshops. Here are nine of the wonderful puppet creations. Tuesday 16th October 2018.

All the grade 1/2’s at St Paul’s in Sunshine have made puppets with me in six workshops over three days. The students have produced some great puppets as you can see here from this small sample. Good work kids, you all participated very well. Hopefully I might see you again one day for a puppet show.
