Piccadilly also hosted the Piccadilly Puppet Pageant, part of the Rosedale Rainbow Parade for 2 years, which also featured giant puppets, and we're already planning more work shops for next year. You could be a part. We can build spectacular giant puppets for your parade as well; check out the picture gallery from this year's pageant and see Community Arts Projects under Workshops. For more information, call us: (816) 516-5820. Our MissionPiccadilly Productions is a child-centered company that uses original art forms to develop the imagination, build self esteem, and teach personal safety. We believe the act of families, children, and educators sharing and participating in stories — stories that are true and innocent at heart — is a respectful and time-honored tradition. Sharing stories rejuvenates and maintains hope to communities and future generations. The company comprises ten different puppeteers, actors, and actresses who work full time in the industry. We tour a variety of shows; you can bring them to your school, library, or community event. See Touring for more information. The founderFounder and Artistic Director Lisa Jorgensen has been a puppeteer since 1989; she started Piccadilly Productions in 1993. She holds a BA from Kansas State University. She is an Artist in Residence on the Missouri Arts Council's 2003-2004 touring roster. She has also been chosen as a professional development workshop leader under Young Audiences, and Piccadilly Productions is on the touring roster for Young Audiences. |
If you saw this puppet in the Brookside St. Patrick's Day Parade, you'll remember it was a 16-foot Indonesian dancer. We built this parade puppet for World's Window.
