Hello!  I will like to see photos of different puppet stages, but can not find them here. I read a lot of good advice, but can not see the stages. Am I missing them? I am a illustrator, that just recently started to design my own puppets for a puppet theater. I also designed the stage, that looks like a "real" theater, and I am planning to print it on different plastic panels, for a 3 dimensional effect. I am very enthusiastic about this project, but as is my first "stage design", I am searching for photos of other creative stage designs. Thanks for any help,

Some of the very old post have images of puppet stages. There may be some in the Gallery but right now I am working on the Gallery so they are not accessible.

Welcome to P&S.  It sounds like you've designed a very cool stage.  If you could work up some drawings of your concept it would be great.  In comparicon to other aspects of puppetry, there's not very much on staging.  Right now I'm trying to mentally figure out how to construct a portable  puppet theatre that more closely resembles an actual theatre stage.  maybe we could bounce ideas off each other that will help us both reach our goals.

Hello!

I´am also started to design my own puppets and puppet stage for a play. (More on Puppet Projects/My project).

One new pictures on http://www.sarilahtinen.net/old%20forest.html.
 
I need a 3 dimensional effect like you titere. Old forest with some big trees at least. Yes, it would be fantastic to see some pictures of different kind of stage designs!!!

Thanks for the welcome! How can we start to ask for photos of stage design, for those who are interested? I am not so familiar yet with this web site, so I dont know the best place to start the "stage gallery". Any ideas?
And Jon and Hamsteri, I can share some ideas regarding my three dimensional "theater" stage, just email me! Find my email on my "profile".

Once I get the new Gallery up and going I can create an Album for folks to upload images of their stages. It should only be a few more days before I get it going.

Great! I will be waiting...

Hello,
I use a booth which is mainly for Punch & Judy and it is called a `lazy tong booth`. It all folds down into a small bag read to be transported.

It is made of wood, but is very lightweight and just takes under 20 mins for it to be set up. Here is a picture with the unpainted proscenium and with out its cover, scenery or playboard drapes.

Cheers,
Dan

Oh, very interesting! 
What material is the proscenium made off? Wood or fabric? And the light weight of the structure is no problem when in use? (It does not fell down, or the "wind" take it down, for example). And a last question... Why so high? Is it better for the puppeteers to stand up than to kneel when working back stage? My stage design is lower, people must go dawn in their knees to perform...
Thanks a lot!

  Forgot to ask, what size is the "window" of the stage?
Thanks again!
