We believe laughter is one of the best gifts you can give, and Doug & his cast of characters always deliver. Libraries: 30-45 minutes. Library shows are customized to the theme or event. Doug uses 3-4 characters to entertain and do some storytelling while sharing the importance of reading and imagination. Banquets, Festivals, Corporate Events: These all vary and are customized to your needs. These opportunities could be a single 10-15 minute skit with one of his characters, up to a full hour of fun with multiple puppets. Doug also likes to walk around and interact one-on-one with audience members when the opportunity presents itself. This can be helpful at fairs and festivals to get people to the actual performance. Contact Doug today to begin working on your event. Whatever your event, Doug and his cast of characters are sure to deliver laughter, and a memorable time. Church Shows (30 minutes-1 hour): There is such variety depending on his audience. Doug does church shows for the entire church which features music and 3-5 puppets who help tell Bible stories and other Biblical principles. These performances can lead into a time of response. Doug was once referred to as an "evan-triloquist" (mix between and evangelist and a ventriloquist:) Doug also does lots of Kids events like VBS, Camps, Children's Revivals, etc.... One of his favorite audiences is Senior Adult Groups who tend to enjoy the puppets just as much....if not more than the kids. Once again, Doug is always attentive to his audience. About Doug: Doug has always been fascinated by puppets, but he first learned ventriloquism at the age of 16 through a class at a local community college. Shortly after; he began receiving invites to perform for local churches, birthday parties, nursing homes, banquets....you name it, and he has probably done it. Doug is a Worship Pastor at his church. His passion is ministry, and a large part of his performances are for churches. Doug also does his fair share of events for libraries, schools, and other organizations. No matter what the venue, performances are ALWAYS family friendly and clean. Doug is also an accomplished songwriter and musician. He and his wife have released 3 albums with original Contemporary Christian, and Worship music. For church events (depending on the audience), Doug will mix in some music along with the ventriloquism. Doug and his wife Cindy have been married for 23 years, and they have two children.
