Plenty of people do searches for puppet stages, but the thing is that there is no ‘one size fits all’ stage. (Actually, the term ‘puppet stage’ itself is odd, because in 20 years of doing theatre, I’ve never heard of anyone calling a set a ’stage’. Stage usually refers to the venue floor, not the set. So to me, this article is about set design, not ’stages’ and more than likely the incorrect terminology is from misinformation/uninformed general public.) It entirely depends on how you perform your show, and what your needs are. Since no two shows are alike, no two stages will be alike. Are there any rules to how you design your set and staging for puppet shows? No, not really. But there are some standards out there that you might want to use if you’re just starting out. First, be sure to go back and read the section on staging in the puppet design basics. That will help you figure out what considerations you need to keep in mind when building and designing your set.
