Program Description
Description
Richard B. Elsenpeter is a strong believer in fantasy. Without fantasy, he feels children miss a vital part of their development. This is the basis behind his life-time love for puppetry.
"The fantasy world is as necessary to the development of the mind as crawling is to walking. If a child is denied the freedom to pursue a fantasy, he is deprived," Mr. Elsenpeter said. "It serves
a very important purpose."
This is the philosophy behind the Elsenpeter Marionettes. Mr. Elsenpeter heads Elsenpeter Productions (a company which has entertainers that tour the country each year). His goal is to give children an outlet for their fantasies while making a lasting impression on them.
