 Taxing Times Brings Great Opportunity:

Starting in May, most of us in the U.S. will be receiving tax rebate checks to stimulate the economy.  Instead of just blowing it on a TV or an Ipod, why not support the Arts and invest in your own show?   If you invest your rebate check in some kind of improvement for your show, new props, new puppets, new stage clothes...it's a win for the Arts, a win for the economy, and a win for YOUR SHOW (and is tax deductible)!

Ronn Lucas & Nate Plummer
Ronn Lucas was one of our judges for the 2007 Axtell Puppet Video Contest.   He was so impressed with the contestants that he offered to have the winners in each category perform with him on stage in Vegas!   Congratulations to Nate Plummer (above) and Bethany Raddin.
This was an amazing opportunity, and Ronn has offered this again to the winners of the 2008 contest!
