HISTORY : Don’t Move Puppet Theatre was established in 1990 out of the perceived need for accessible theatre. We created our first show for the Polly Woodside Maritime Museum called "William On The Woodside". This show was performed for visiting school groups to the museum and we soon became 'entertainment coordinators' for the weekend activities as well. Soon we decided to create further shows, and when the Victorian Arts  Centre approached us about a circus day for children, we created our second show "Circus With Punch". From there we wrote further shows, designed and made a second more compact and portable puppet booth, and started working for Schools, Kindergartens, Parties, Libraries, Shopping Centres and the like.  The year 2008 marks our 18TH year in business. At the request of many people we are also providing WORKSHOPS, mainly for schools. ( See our SCHOOLS information regarding workshops ).  John has also been a professional actor since 1989 and has appeared in various television commercials , corporate videos and the like.
