Pleasant Puppets

The mission of Pleasant Puppets is to promote the world of puppetry through workshops and performances on video and the stage.

The group originally formed in April 2025 when founder Jon Morgan was invited to present a puppeteering workshop for a kids summer program. He recruited Tonya Huber and Danielle Collins to help him plan and perform a short program in July. They continue to work together on projects.

A Christmas Mystery

On Wednesday, December 3, the Pleasant Puppet Players gave their first dramatic performance inside the Shepherd Community Library. The show's story was a fresh take on the events described in the song "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer." After Grandma's incident, FBI agents investigate the accident. The show incorporated live actors, a costumed character,  and puppetry. Sound effects and lighting effects were used to complete an entertaining experience for the audience.
