The latest: many people paid anywhere from $500-$1300 before the virus closing. The place was MIA till yestetday. They finally called and instead of offering sessions to continue with no additional cost (the ones that were paid for before the virus), the owner wants us to pay for new sessions PLIS THE $55 REGISTRATION FEE! and use the paid for sessions as make ups. When I said that I was also affected by the virus and can't pay additional money on top of $500 I already paid, he said, this is the only option. I also said I can't come 2x a week amd he said "it's either that or nothing". So if I can't pay for new sessions and can not make up the ones I paid for, he gets to keep my $500??? He's done it to many other paremts as well. Beware .

Puppets certainly fun for toddlers and older, but these puppets and the shows need an update…read more They're so old fashioned in style, which tends to mean they appear on the creepy side. my daughter told us she found them a little scary. Aside from the aesthetic, I found some of the stories wildly outdated in a slightly harmful way. One story that was shown to a group of toddlers had a fight over the ownership of a girl (never explicitly stated but not subtle either). The evil character won the battle and now the girl toy was his against her will. I don't think I have to point out what's wrong with that. The toys were also pretty mean to each other. Hoping all this went over her head but we won't be back to expose her to more stories like this.

I recently had the opportunity to come to Puppetworks for the first time and watched The Sleeping…read moreBeauty. Puppetworks make fairy tales come to life through marionette puppetry, offering hour-long performances geared to kids that will charm everyone in the audience. Kids are encouraged to sit on rugs in front of the stage, while adults and other kids can also sit on the sides and back of the event space. Dozens of beautiful, colorful marionettes of all sizes hang from the wall, giving the impression that they are also part of the audience. The performance itself is professionally curated: the story, the voices, the sound effects, the music, the scenery, and the lights. Artistic Director Nicolas Coppola and his crew clearly put a lot of passion in their work, and it shows in the production. I was definitely impressed. Kids loved it, of course, with lots of active participation during the show. Plus, at the end of the show, Mr. Coppola came out of the stage with a marionette for the kids to meet. Since 1980 Puppetworks offer fun entertainment for kids and family in the neighborhood. Tickets are currently $10 for children, and $11 for adult. You reserve your tickets in advance[1] and pay at the door. As a parent, I also appreciate the fact that they offer performances on school closure days. They also offer interactive in-school presentations for Pre-K classes, and school shows for groups of 20 or more persons every weekday. ------------------------------ [1] Call 718-965-3391, or e-mail to: puppetworksinfo@gmail.com.

Our team had an absolute blast painting with Alla during a virtual team event. The team kept going…read moreon about just how incredible her energy was -- making it all even more fun than it already was! She and Eugene were very accommodating to our team's itinerary that day, and made it the easiest part of the even to plan. Alla hand sketched each of our canvases (which turned out way more impressive than any of us expected with our lack of artistic ability), and had them shipped the perfect amount of time prior to the day of the event. So glad we chose Art Fun Studio to include in our year end event -- truly such a positive experience. Hope to work with them again in the future!!

She also provided tips on how to paint better if you weren't a pro at it - which I certainly was not. She has a number of different ceramics to pick from and took great photos of the group with her DSLR as well. Most importantly, you can bring beer/alcohol and drink while you paint - listening to music of your choice!
