WHAT ARE WE, ANYWAY?

There's some confusion in the minds of many of our customers. It seems that some do not know if Puppet Productions is a full-time Christian ministry, or just an out-and-out business that happens to sell to churches. Some even still think that we manufacture the Muppets (we don't). To clearly answer the question, here's what we are:

Puppet Productions is a privately owned and operated business. It was founded in 1971 and incorporated in 1973 by Bill Hawes, president. He is a former music and education minister who saw the value of puppetry as a teaching aid. The primary direction of Puppet Productions is that of providing churches with professional quality puppets (not cheap toys) and puppet skits, plays, songs, musicals and other programming for use in ministering to children.

Puppet Productions is the originator of the modern church puppet ministry. In addition, we produce puppets and materials that can be used by a church to minister to the community. And, yes, it's true that we sell these things for a profit so that we may continue to make them -- just like the companies that sell choir robes, inspirational records, hymnals and even Bibles.

Is everyone at Puppet Productions a Christian? No. As a responsible and law abiding business, we hire people according to their ability to do the job well. As Christians (and many of us are), we share our faith with fellow employees in our weekly devotionals, as well as by our conduct and speech as we work together. But something we all are is enthused--enthused about being part of Puppet Productions and doing-the best we can to provide you with the highest quality in puppets, costumes, training, tapes and accessories for your ministries.
