West Puppets Vault

"The Gory Goremet" is a ventriloquist show I used
to do in Nashville at the Slaughter House. Bonehead (not
shown) was a little skull that wore a chef hat also. It was a
fun show. May it rest in peace here in the vault.

"Professor Derby's Toy Shop" is a partial show
that was never completed. It started out as a ventriloquist
show for churches, that was supposed to teach moral
lessons to children.

"The Careless King"
A show I did for the Fire
Department about fire safety.

"Ye old shadow show"
A show I did for a Medieval
re-enactment group (SCA) with, what
else, shadows!
