Portable shadow-puppet theatre
An illuminated screen turns cutout figures into a miniature shadow world.
Nappy’s Puppets / Jim Napolitano
Jim Napolitano offers shadow-puppet entertainment and workshops for private parties. His current provider portfolio includes Shadows Around the World, Bump in the Night and a behind-the-screen presentation, rather than only conventional hand-puppet characters. This is a compact theatrical option for a family gathering, with the program selected for the audience rather than assumed to suit every celebration.
Current location note / listed area: North Haven, Connecticut; traveling performances by arrangement
The published repertoire is largely family-oriented; confirm the exact show and whether a demonstration or workshop is included. A wedding package is not established. The provider says indoor performance and electricity are preferred, with outdoor setups by special arrangement. Current private-party scope and North Haven base are attributed to provider-authored GigSalad and The Bash profiles; the owned website has older formatting.
