Abstract (en)

[origin: US5085609A] A puppet theater with a playback device (7) for sounds provided during a theatrical performance has an electrically actuatable display (13, 14, 15) for each puppet to be used. Control signals are recorded on the sound medium (7') of the playback device (7), and include display controls to trigger the displays to cue the puppeteer during the performance as to which puppet is to be used at a given time in the script. The control signals of the playback device can also include automatic commands for unwinding a backdrop (5), and signals for controlling the illumination of colored lamps (16, 17, 18) which light the stage. The theater may be portably arranged via dividing joint (23) and hinges (24, 25) which allow for folding of the walls (1, 3, 4).
