 Six of the crafters decided to stretch their creativity and embrace puppetry

as a form of expression. They each manufactured their own puppet from
recycled material and once the puppets were ready, they wrote their first
script about the prevention of TB and performed it at the quarterly meeting of
DOHealth.

 This performance was followed by a commissioned play for Cape Winelands

Hospice and after that the Dept of Education commissioned the group to
perform at five schools with an anti-bullying play. They received payment for
their performance.

The group works well together and they are encouraged to form an
independent puppetry performing group, managing and marketing their
own business. They will focus on the Community Theatre, specifically with
children’s plays.
