Professional puppeteers spend hours honing their skills. They practice and study diction, ventriloquism, body movements, and positioning of characters on the stage. Some custom made marionettes are animated with animatronics that can even be controlled remotely. But with a little practice and a few basic characters, even an amateur can have fun and put on a lively show that will delight the audience.

Puppets of all types and sizes have been used for thousands of years. They've been mythical creatures, gods, and goddesses. They've represented animals to be hunted. They've been characters in elaborate storytelling rituals. They've been toys. Wire controlled marionettes have been found in Egyptian tombs.

Marionettes were used to perform plays for the common man as far back as the 5th century. They were a cheaper form of entertainment than live acting. Punch and Judy shows were a traveling form of entertainment in 16th century England. In Munich, Germany, puppets performed classical opera.

Marionettes used for children's shows can be fun, educational, even character building. Use of puppets in therapy breaks down barriers. In art and drama classes, marionettes stimulate creativity and imagination. But they're not just for kids. Comedians often use marionettes to add characters into their routine. A 3rd person character is a great way to dramatize satire.
