Puppet Show Repairs


Fix the Set to the "Puppet Show"


A main piece that holds together the top of the backstage has torn. To replace the part and make it stronger I got a piece of cardboard (hard as matte board) and cut put the shapes that hold together the back of the stage.


Also there needs to be a thick piece of foam with Velcro to hold the front facial board cover. But where is the extra annoying piece of foam core when you need it?
In the photo above, (not a great picture) there were two wooden support beams added, to make the "frame around the stage" stronger. Unfortunately the side "Puppet Panels" did not close as well after they were added and actually caused them to disconnect with the center piece. New tape or Velcro needs to be added.

Some one had the simple idea of hanging the bats on strings from above. There is a hidden wooden rod that could support something like that or a hanging spider. Wonderful ideas after the fact.
