The puppet stage takes 30-40 minutes to set up (including PA equipment, puppets and set pieces). It has a height of 1.8 metres and a length of 2.4 metres. The puppet stage is only a front-on facade, and about a metre and a half to two metres of space are needed behind it to layout the puppets, props, and the puppeteer for performing. A flat surface is also required, such as a stage, concrete or tiles etc. Chris can make performances outdoors, a marquee or undercover space is preferred in case of poor weather. A loading area or car parking near the venue is also preferred to efficiently set up and pack down.
