Somehow there is always a sock missing – where are they all, where do they go? Mark and Iklooshar from Garlic Theatre have created three imaginative and gentle short films about the adventures of a strange creature living secretly in a house.

Why not make your own set and puppets at home to create a little puppet show about your own creature living in your house guided by our helpful PDF's? Here are some tips on how to use the films and PDF's to help you do this.

We recommend watching Part 1 and then looking at the first PDF of activities which will help you make a little den for your creature.

Then you can watch Part 2 and look at the second PDF of instructions which will guide you to make your own puppet of your very own creature to live in the den you have made earlier.

After watching Part 3, the third PDF will give you helpful tips on creating your own story and puppet show.

Let your imagination go wild and create and perform your own wonderful and beautiful stories.

This film is the first in a trilogy of imaginative puppetry films without words which was commissioned and funded by The Library Presents… In Your House autumn programme in 2020.

Feelings can be tricky. One minute you could be happy and feel smooth and the next you could be angry and feel spiky! "Sometimes I'm Spiky," a BCT Cardboard Puppet Theatre Production by Alex Ungerman, reminds us that it's ok to feel things and that no feeling is final. When you acknowledge your feelings, learn to accept them, and start to vocalize them, you begin to realize they aren’t so tricky after all. When we come together, listen, and share.. it’s easy to keep rolling along.

Birmingham Children's Theatre presents, "Bailee's Story" by Traci Jones and Becca Yeager, the newest BCT Cardboard Puppet Theatre production.

Bailee is the smartest kid in her class. She is also the only Black student. Her teacher, Mr. Connor, never calls on her and Bailee wonders if he even sees her. Not only does Bailee work hard at her lessons, she also has to work hard to be seen. With support from her friends, Bailee stands up for herself and fights for equality in her classroom.
