"Puppets by Steve Ruzansky" - one of the most cherished one-person puppet shows in the Delaware Valley – is back! After years of classroom teaching, Steve returns to the little theater stage with a mix of new characters and veteran puppet troupers.

Steve is a teacher, musician, vocalist, actor, and crafter who has a deep affinity and appreciation for ingenuity, variety, simple sophistication, and sheer entertainment fun.

"Puppets by Steve Ruzansky" is emceed by the shy and anxious stick-and-rod puppet, Clarence. Assisting him is his nonverbal, but oh-so expressive stage manager, Gopher, an adorable hand puppet whose Chaplinesque antics never fail to delight audiences." Duck" Watson is a singing and guitar-strumming folksy mouth-puppet who loves involving his listeners in singing familiar tunes with zany lyrics. Also available is a unique Tennisaurus Rex, a rappin' raptor marionette who feeds on the attention of his audience.

These delightful character bits precede the show's central folktale/fable, such as The Lion and the Mouse, The Fifth Witch, or The Three Little Pigs. The very special closing piece of this star-studded line-up comes when Steve brings out his five-string banjo and invites the young and young-at-heart in the audience to join him in some delightfully interactive fun.
