To book a performance please email taylor@maritime-marionettes.com or call (902) 893-7626 or 1-877-917-4697 (Toll Free in North America).
We travel by land for many engagements bringing our stage, sound, lights and marionettes to your venue. The shows are compact and can also travel by air (with lighting equipment if needed). When we travel by air we need a sound system and often a riser on the stage.
For long distances we require block bookings or a contract for several performances. We can also connect a performance for you in a future tour, if we know you are interested!
See the Performance Calendar for our current schedule.

Stage, Electrical & Hall:
We require a clean (mopped and swept) stage not less than 24 feet wide by 14 feet deep. (Our portable stage is used when the venue is without a stage).
Windows to be covered (blackout enhances performance).
Basketball net in front of the stage to be raised.
Two electrical outlets, on separate circuits.
The receptacles must be accessible (free of chairs, tables, boxes etc). Loud fans or air exchange systems, bells and announcements to be turned off in gym during the performance (if possible).
Drinking water to be provided for the 2 performers.
Seating:
For school performances in gymnasiums, the students are seated on the floor, visitors and teachers in chairs along the sides. When the existing stage is lower than 3 feet, or we are using our portable stage, it is usually preferable to arrange this additional seating to improve the viewing:
a) a row of benches, at the back of the audience.
b) two rows of chairs, behind the benches.
THANK YOU AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO PERFORMING FOR YOU!
