Carranza Puppets brings traditional children’s literature to life through marionette presentations. The presentation for this school year (2009-2010) is “Pinocchio.” Pinocchio is an odyssey in which a puppet, by the making of ironic choices, experiences many trials and misadventures, and their eventual consequences. These experiences, however, gain Pinocchio a truer course in life. This eventually leads him to the maturity which is symbolized in this story by the puppet turning into a real boy.

    Since 1977, Carranza Puppets has been dedicated to bringing quality marionette and hand puppet shows to children that are educational as well as entertaining. This traveling company primarily serves the Houston area, and also travels the states of Texas and Louisiana.

   Using exquisitely handcrafted marionettes, Carranza Puppets goes to elementary schools and performs school assembly programs. These programs include original music orchestrated especially for each year's production. The programs are also available for libraries, corporations and civic organizations.
