Welcome to the On-Line Home of the
Portland Puppet Museum
Come and explore the commercial work of The Olde World
Puppet Theatre, with films, articles, and pictures of such
projects as the children's video"Wee Sing Under the Sea",
the Barq's Root Beer Dog, and the creation of characters for
Orlando Disneyworld's live stage production of
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame".
Do you want to know more about the incredible
fascinating world of puppets? You can explore the history
of the different kinds of puppets and visit a studio
workshop area that shows how we build them.
If you want to build some puppets of your own, visit our
Stuff For Kids Area for some great downloads to work on
at home. You can even build puppets from our movie,
"Witch Key".
Thanks for visiting. We hope you
enjoyed your visit here at the
museum. Our cyber museum is
always changing, so come back and
visit us soon.

Can you really make an exciting new fantasy film
using old fashioned marionettes as the actors? Of
course you can, if you're the Olde World Puppet
Theatre Studios, and you happen to be filming the
Tales of Belvuria. Four years in the making, come see
"Witch Key" our exciting first film on DVD. You can
also find out more about our first book, "The
Enchanted Ring", a girl-power story with Pixies,
Faeries and a really cool Unicorn.

Who hasn't wanted to journey down the yellow brick
road of the "Wizard of Oz". In 2003 the Olde World
Puppet Theatre did just that, with lifesize body
puppets set to Meco's disco rock opera score. And we
have plans to visit Oz once again. There are new
plans afoot to revisit this unique story for the stage,
setting the entire production way down in New
Orleans during Mardi Gras. New music, new puppets
and an entirely new approach are being planned.

United States.
