Caravan’s library performances highlight the joys of creativity, imagination and the love of reading. Our programs engage audiences with unique handmade puppets, a wide diversity of puppetry styles, exciting stories, interactive skits and original music.
For 2023, we have prepared shows for two summer library reading themes: “Raise Your Voice” and “All Together Now!“ In the Caravan tradition, both shows feature classic international folktales (four skits to both productions), loads of interaction heart and humor.d
Since 1991, Caravan has performed thousands of programs.

Beautiful staging and an excellent sound system are provided.
We are comfortable with any size audience (10 – 400) and most any performance space!
Your puppets are beautiful! The children seemed to really enjoy the show. It's rare that they're so engaged for the whole performance!.

Jonathan and Karen could not have been any better. Children and parents alike were thrilled with the performance. The program was engaging, educational, and truly interactive. The puppets were a treat to look at. He explained how many of the puppets were made with found objects. The following Storytime two sisters each brought a puppet they had made. Their grandmother said that one of the girls had seen an open pod on the ground and declared it to be a pig’s nose. Their puppets were imaginative and completely inspired by Caravan!
