Project Overview
Shari Ellingson's puppet shows include ventriloquism, illusions, music and audience participation. Her theme this year is Ready, Set, Read! Each performance teaches valuable life lessons about the importance of friendship, cooperation, and a positive attitude while packing in a whole lot of laughter. Shari will use ventriloquist characters, each one with its own creative personality, as well as illusions, music, balloons and audience participation. The performance will also stress the importance of reading.
