Bob Brown Puppets have been a major children's theater company for the past fifty years, offering the finest in children's education and entertainment and performing to over 300,000 children a year. When invited to create the Smithsonian Puppet Theater in 1967 Bob and Judy Brown moved from New York and settled in Virginia. Since then, they have presented their outstanding productions to millions of young people throughout the metropolitan area. It's impossible to separate the work of these two master puppeteers into separate and exclusive categories, as each serves a vital role in the other's creative process. This progression from the em yo of an idea to the full-blown product is the result of the Browns' willingness to accept that each ings a separate yet equal contribution to the projects they've created together for many years.
