Three favorite folks tales from around the world come to life with a touch of the familiar and a taste of the new. Using a variety of puppet styles, "The Frog Prince" from Germany, "Three Billy Goats Gruff" from Scandinavia and "The Three Little Pigs" from England are each told with refreshing wit and wisdom.
In between each of the tales there’s a whole menagerie of zany characters to see and enjoy. Tangle of Tales is fun for everyone!
Tangle of Tales will be presented at Children's Theatre of Charlotte January 31-February 1st. Visit the Children's Theatre website to buy your tickets today!
Grey Seal Puppets' Cheralyn Lambeth took Father Time out for a night on the town New Year's Eve in Charlotte, NC. Father Time was the showstopping star of the First Night parade! Despite heavy winds, Father Time soldiered through, interacting with the crowd and celebrating the New Year in style. For a gallery of images from First Night, visit the Charlotte Observer's website at www.charlotteobserver.com/436/gallery/446092.html.

Grey Seal was excited to be part of two big parades this Thanksgiving Day-- the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Carolinas Thanksgiving Day Parade! And the characters that were featured in each parade really showcased how different kinds of puppets can be used very effectively!
The past few years we've had the honor of working with the Cartoon Network on puppets for their Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float in the Macy's Parade. The characters that we built for them include Bloo, Cheese, Fluffernutter, and Jackie Khones, who you can see here:
Our hats are off to the Cartoon Network for pulling off the greatest RickRoll of all time!
In our own hometown of Charlotte, NC, Grey Seal Puppets' characters dominated the Carolinas Thanksgiving Day Parade. Many of the mascot characters that we've built were there, including Rufus Lynx from the Charlotte Bobcat, LugNut from the Lowes Motor Speedway, and a mascot version of our very own Seemore Goodstuff from WTVI-42! Seemore appeared with his on-air counterpart, Beverly Dorn-Steele.
We also built a huge Father Time parade puppet, which was used to advertise the upcoming First Night Charlotte, a New Year's Eve festival.
Here, Cheralyn Lambeth tests out Father Time outside the Grey Seal Puppets studio. Cheralyn also puppeteered Father Time in the parade.
Three different kinds of puppets, but each a perfect tool to reach their audience. What can puppets say for you?
