Hello everyone! I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Fr. Dennis Vierling. I've been a Greek Orthodox priest for over twenty years. For the past ten years or so I've been doing Biblical marionette shows for the youth in my parishes. It's been a lot of fun and the adults seem to enjoy them too. Over the years my collection of marionettes have gradually grown (I don't make them myself - I'm not very talented in that realm, but I have them custom made). I've finally given a name to my hobby and am calling it Lilies of the Field Marionettes and hope to give occasional shows at neighboring churches, schools and nursing homes.

It's informative looking over this site. It gives me lots of ideas.

Best wishes to everyone!

Fr. Vierling

Welcome, Fr. Vierling, to an unusual gathering of skills and eccentricities. These folks are the greatest! Glad to have you as a part, and I hope you will share more of your work with us.

Welcome to P&S!  Remember that we LOVE pictures and would really enjoy seeing pictures of your marionettes!

welcome!  We'd love to see pictures of your marionette!

Thanks for your warm words of welcome. Still haven't figured out posting pictures yet but hope to post some pics of my marionettes. I just had one of three new stages made and hope to post pictures of them too.

Hello, hello!    Glad your here.
