Tom's
4th birthday, February 1969 |
Are you looking for entertainment for a kids' party? Consider hiring Tom Knight to come to your house for a small version of the Tom Knight Puppet show.
It's a lot like the show he does for larger audiences, but with more
participation, and special requests. Contact Tom to find out prices and
availability. Range of travel: Pioneer Valley, Western Mass, or Boston, but willing to travel farther if he can coordinate it with other shows.
Things to keep in mind for a successful party with Tom
Knight:
-
Age: Kids 4 years old and older, but 3-year olds are OK
if the kids are very familiar with Tom's music.
- How long is the show?: Usually about 45 - 50 minutes.
-
Location: It's usually best to have the concert inside, so
there are fewer distractions.
-
Participation: The concert works best if the adults can participate
too.
-
Scheduling Tom: It works well to schedule Tom about 30 minutes
after the starting time of the party, before the cake and presents.
- Set-up
Time: Allow 60 minutes for Tom to set up.
Payment: No deposit necessary. Please pay the day of
the performance (check or cash is OK.) -
Cameras: Video cameras and snapshots are fine!
Another alternative to presents: Does the birthday child
already have plenty of stuff? Here's an idea from a birthday party I
attended.
