"We offer a variety of services at Bear Ridge. On weekends, we host mini-shows, along with larger, full-production shows every 6–8 weeks right here in the store. We also produce our children’s YouTube channel, 321 Green Street, which is filmed on-site. And when the puppets aren’t performing, we’re a bookstore and toy store offering a fun selection of books and toys for kids and families."

"Papa" and Jackie Wright
"Story Time Puppets are interactive, delighting the young and the young-at-heart. They teach important lessons of life. Their versions of Aesop’s fables have the children so engaged that they do not realize they are learning valuable lessons. Other shows focus on literacy, bullying, and conflict resolution. As a pre-show to all, “Papa,” a one-of-a-kind puppeteer, demonstrates the voices and personalities of each puppet. His audience of children has the opportunity to hold the puppet and use their voices for the puppet characters. Jackie, the “Goody Bag Lady,” not only interacts with the puppets and the audience, but she also invites the audience to become personal with each puppet character. Some of the puppets ask for items that can be found in the goody bag. You become involved in their stories. Adults even discover the “child” inside themselves. As a bonus feature, children get to sing and play percussion instruments for the grand finale."
Recommended for ages 3-9. Length: 30 minutes. Visit their website for a description of their shows. Call or email Jackie for the fee.
