The Wizard of Oz!

The Puppet People will lead the way through The Emerald City and beyond with an array of marionettes, shadow puppets, rod puppets, large parade puppets, and more. Whether you’re experiencing the magical story of Oz for the first time or the hundredth, this

recreation captures the same sense of heart, courage, and friendship that made L. Frank Baum’s turn-of-the-century fairy tale into the beloved classic that it is today.

The duo are responsible for hand-crafting their props, as well as writing, producing, and directing each of their shows. The Carrigans have given performances at theaters, festivals, and events across the nation, as well as in venues such as Lincoln Center in New York City.
