    Hi Stephanie, 

    I rented from a company in LA called Stage Monkey Design.  The puppets were amazing.  They were a little pricey, but in my case, worth it!  Hope this helps.

    I love Stage Monkey - we rented Little Shop puppets from them.  I checked them first - booked for my dates already.  Very sad!  But, Thank you for the response!

    We did it last year - and built our puppets.  I have a grasshopper, ladybug, and spider.  Sadly, our centipede had a rough summer in storage and didn't make it.  I'd be happy to sell them to you if you're interested.  Photos from our production are attached, but I can get them from storage and take more detailed photos for you if you'd like.

    I did this show 2 years ago and created some puppets. I won't need them again and will gladly send them to you for free. If they are not to your liking, no harm, no foul. I'm not at my school until September, so I can't send you photos right now. Just send me a message if you're interested.
