    Welcome to Puppetworks.
    Joel H.

    I have never been to a formal puppet show like this. We went with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter and 1 1/2 year old grandson. This was a delightful experience for both of them even though the young one would get up and wonder from time to time. It's a small store front and charming little puppet theater. There is an admission charge for both children and adults. Even at this late date they were requiring masks. I have no problem with a little extra safety. Many people were not wearing the masks but holding them in their hand. The children sat in front on a padded floor while the adults sat on bleachers and benches. Once of the puppeteers came out prior to the show and explained what we were all about to see. Convenient but not the most comfortable. The walls are decorated with puppets... lots and lots of puppets. Definitely there to get everyone in the mood. The three shows they put on were delightful and the children really enjoyed them. The puppeteers are very talented and you can see the effort that goes into these productions. All the productions lasted about an hour. I am glad that I had the opportunity to come here and watch my grandchild enjoy the experience. I am sure I will get another opportunity to come back and I welcome the chance. KUDOs to the team here at Puppetworks.

    I visited Puppetworks recently for a children's birthday party and even though I had 20+ years on most of the viewers, I think I enjoyed it just as much if not more! The venue was booked as a private event for a "screening" of Beauty and the Beast. Foam mats are laid out on the floor for children to get an up-close and personal view of the show in addition to some small benches and of course adult friendly bleachers and benches along the walls. One of two puppet masters gave us a warm introduction, pointing out all the many marionettes surrounding the top of the entire room, and explaining, in a child friendly way, the way puppetiring works. After his introduction, the show proceeded, roughly 20 minutes, with applause and photos with the stars following the production. The story itself was true to the classic Grimm's Fairytale, which captivated the audience in a new and exciting way. The production was wonderful, it's not often you get to appreciate the art of a puppet mastering, but it is truly an extraordinary art form and one that young and old alike can appreciate. From the intricate details of the puppet itself to the voices of the puppet master and movements of multiple puppets at one time, it was a performance I would be happy to sit through again.

    The puppet shows are wonderful!!! There is a mat on the floor where most kids sit to watch the show & even the adults. The kids really enjoy the magic of it and it's great when a puppet master comes out after the shows and greets the kids with a marionette in hand. It is a small place with limited comfortable seating. If you have a bad back, perhaps the one side bench would be good since it is against the wall. The mats are usually very dirty from a previous show& they come apart like puzzle pieces. The place needs to be renovated as everything is outdated, but I really like seeing all the marionettes on the wall. The bathroom is small&dirty& needs tlc...parking is difficult and it is cash only...

    Daunting array of marionettes and albeit from the outside it looks not well maintain it's beyond the point, especially when the curtain draws! This is a truly amazing asset for families in the area and the lessons children receive in regards to the classics cannot be matched anywhere around. If only every kid had such an option...

    I've been here twice with my daughter and we've had a good time both times. Great show to watch with kids in a world of electronics. It's entertaining and fun. The puppeteers are very skilled. My only complaint is the floor seating in the front. My butt hurts afterwards!

    Puppeteer letting the children see and touch a marionette. Lovely

    We took my 3 year old see Puss in Boots, she loved it. Cute little show and the actors/puppeteers are awesome! Can't wait for the next one.

    I would like to start by saying everyone who assisted me in the studio was helpful and polite. The…read morevoice and movement professors, John and especially Onye, were encouraging and friendly. However, as the name on the door is Terry Knickerbocker, my rating is one because I can't give zero. Numerous extremely uncomfortable episodes happened during the time I was there. In some of these episodes, Terry made extremely disrespectful comments about a specific young black student. In my case, because I'm big and muscular, all the criticism was focused on my appearance and how bad my acting was, comparing me to Vin Diesel. I know the intention was to offend me, but thinking about it, Vin Diesel is at least actually acting and not coaching actors. I can't speak for other people or other classes, but as I read on the website that people from minorities have had problems in the studio in the past, there's a good chance this isn't an isolated case. Terry often demands reverential treatment but treats it rudely and impersonally. He demands punctuality but finishes class 40 minutes later. He demands that you answer his comments ( because he doesn't like feeling like an ATM) but interrupts you when you try to express yourself, and especially, like every narcissist, he will shut you down if you disagree with anything or point out any contradictions in the feedback he has given, which happens constantly because In one class he will tell you to be sweeter. On the other, he will complain that you are being too sweet. An art environment, especially for beginners, should be more encouraging, inclusive, and, why not, fun! But Terry seems to have a personal interest in making everything extremely uncomfortable, oppressive, and frightening. Terry has interests other than making the beginning student grow, as he says, "I don't like teaching, but my name is on the door." What he forgets and should be a priority is that the name on the card that keeps his studio open is that of the student. I'm still shocked at how despicable some interactions were, but deep down, I understand that all this sadism comes from a deep resentment for not having been able to have a career as an actor. But even understanding the source, I don't think it's fair that because of his inability to be an actor, he tries to kill the spirit of those starting out and still having a chance to realy make art. I understand that some people will say something different and even publicly defend Terry, most artists, especially actors and actresses, have deep insecurity and seek recognition from this type of sadistic figure or are just afraid of losing opportunities by criticizing a figure who, for them, is a gatekeeper, but, If you want to know what people there really think, ask someone personally. For me, being a veteran, having been born in the projects, the son of a black man, and an immigrant, especially as an artist who creates his own opportunities and directs his own films in his own country I don't need to kiss anyone's ring and I don't need to lie about how disrespectful, uncomfortable and counterproductive my time in Terry's class was. In short, I have never dealt with a more toxic and narcissistic person in my life.

    Fantastic studio! Such a great experience and dedication to your needs. Will definitely recommend…read moreto my friends and family!

I grew up a few blocks from this event and had no idea this place existed. It was a little difficult to locate but once we did, it was excellent.

This event was held a photo studio so they had endless props we could work with. Before we could begin we took a group photo with a mix of people from group 1 and 2. While other were taking their photos we had wine, culture pop, chicken tenders and these delicious biscuits. The owner provided the food from Wings n Things (I think that's the name). As far as photo backdrops there a rose wall, a wall full of tv's, blue wall. For props I opted for a crown, a 90s cell phone, red lips phone and this huge book featuring Rihanna. This was a great event to catch up and meet other Brooklyn elite. The photos came out great. Highly recommend using them.

Their class pushed me to do things I was convinced I couldn't and allowed me to play. The instructors never make me feel incompetent because I am not strong enough, but rather give me the tools to become stronger and braver. Lava's classes have made me a better person and I love every floorboard, nail, mat, every piece of that studio. All the instructors are performers and they are beautiful to watch, so go see their shows as well, wherever you may find them. Worth every penny and every second I spend here.

I believe I was the only one in the class who had never done a handstand before and everyone in the class was so patient and welcoming I really felt so comfortable and eager to learn just from the people who surrounded me. I will definitely be coming back every week to keep on practicing. P.s Sarah the instructor was awsome!!! Very thorough and helpful she was also very sweet!
