The Puppet Company often performs at libraries and festivals around California and the
San Francisco Bay Area. When not on the road, we can be found at Children’s Fairyland in
Oakland, California.
Fairyland is located inside Lakeside Park near Lake Merritt. We present seven different
shows a year for the park at 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 4:00 p.m. These shows are free with
admission to the park. Since it is a children’s park, you must have a child to enter, or a child must be
accompanied by an adult. My puppet partner at Fairyland, Master Puppeteer Lewis Mahlmann, can
be found at the Storybook Theater. For more information on Fairyland, click www.fairyland.org.
Books on puppet plays and patterns for puppets can be purchased exclusively by
contacting Lewis Mahlmann directly at Children’s Fairyland.
Puppet shows at Fairyland are presented by M Plus M (Mahlmann and Metz )
Productions. Therefore, a show currently playing in the park might be one by The Puppet Company
or by Master Puppeteer Lewis Mahlmann.
Recently, the Puppeteers of America, presented Children’s Fairyland with an award for 43
years of excellent Puppet Theater. Below are a few pictures of puppet shows presented at Fairyland
by M Plus M Productions:
