After every performance, Nick removes the stage curtains and demonstrates the puppets he designed and built specifically for each original production. Nick will demonstrate how he operated his puppets and explain a little about how he constructed them. Audiences are constantly thanking Nick after the performance for showing them how the show works. Many confess they enjoy the explanation afterwards as much as they enjoyed performance itself.
