"No Nose" 2007 Holiday Shows End!




Hi again to all! Once again we put Rudolph, Santa and Slurppy the Snowman back into their suitcases until next year.
We had 16 performances of this grand old holiday show and the audience seems to love it as much as in the past.

Starting in January, it is back to performing our "Wiz of Oz" parody that went over very well, as our touring show this past summer. Just think only 6 more months and we pack up Oz and start performing our Peter Pan show.

On a more serious note, our friend and master puppet maker Shelley Kothe has been quite ill this past month. She was unable to perform with us over the month of December because of some unknown illness. She is down at the Mayo Clinic and has recently had surgery to see what is going on. We ask all our friends to pray for Shelley and hope that she have a fast recover. All the puppets miss her and our thinking of her.

Later
Jim

Schiffely Puppets meet Mary Beth Carlson




On Friday, Dec 7th Louie, Grammy Lumpitt and Elwood McFarland joined Mary Beth Carlson on stage for
one of her annual Christmas Celebrations. We performed together at Hope Church in Edina, MN.
The puppets were a bit intimadated by the high calaber of talent of the mucicians, but we got through
it anyway. It was a lot of fun and we hope to be part of it again in the future.
