"When I joined the Houston Puppetry Guild in Houston, Texas in 1980 I was using finger puppets in my library story time.
Period!
For the past 35 years I have learned more about puppetry, and continue to learn more to the point where I am using marionettes and ventriloquist dummies in my puppet shows.
I have written 2 books on the art of puppetry, spoken at conferences, given workshops and performed puppet shows from here to Cuba." Joanne Schroeder

Joanne Schroeder With 35 years experience as a children's Librarian and 23 years as a Puppeteer, Joanne has a unique perspective on the role of entertainment in education: first, get the child's attention; second, capture their imagination; third, inspire them to achievement.
ADVENTURELAND PUPPETS is dedicated to inspiring reading!
Our unique puppet shows will excite your children to want to read the stories they have just seen performed.
Old favorites like:
There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
Old MacDonald Had A Farm
The Three Little Pigs
Old Mother Hubbard And Her Dog
These are blended with contemporary stories such as "A Monster Is Coming! A Monster Is Coming!!"
ADVENTURELAND PUPPETS will create a 45 minute performance tailored to your needs and targeted age group.
Let us introduce you to some of our cast of characters: a marionette, Mr. Pig, who wears a snappy tuxedo and dances the Hokey Pokey; Jake The Cowboy who tells tall tales about life on his "ranch"; The Hula Dancer; Ape Face the Monkey who has lost his bananas; The Doggy in the Window (pictured above)
Performances may be scheduled in your classroom, library, place of business, day care center, or private home.
Workshops are available for teachers, children or community groups. Learn to make and use your own puppets.
