I had been trying to get the "Chicken Laying Eggs to Pre-Recorded Soundtrack" gag worked out all week.

FRIDAY - Converting a box including a swiveling door to hold all the eggs (golf balls) and allow to exit. Disaster! It didn't work. But simply placed the ball on 17 inch "Conveyor Belt" by hand. It was perfect to allow the balls to roll on and swoop down into a connected funnel and shoot out and be caught into a milk crate.

Although I totally forgot to introduce it as Peter Rabbits main supplier, it turned out fine. The gag goes on got a minute and a half and I am wiped out after doing it. The kids kept requesting I have the chicken lay more eggs afterwards which made me glad.
CROWD CONTROL
Too many kids on stage but I told them only two at a time and that they needed to get in line. The kids are too short to kneel but too tall to stand. I kept telling them to duck down!
EGGHEAD SPINGSTERS
The hand-made eggs puppets were my favorite to operate. Just because they were the easiest to perform. Their heads can spin, mouths can open. Don't have to worry about eyes or hands.
JAPAN PUPPET
The Ventriloquist Japanese Puppet was also something I had worked on all week. I brought one and explained how I got him resurrected. The mouth and eye work independently with switches that I made on the handle. I found the real expression come from the arms, at least with the music.
