StoneLion was involved in the planning and design of all the puppets used on the children's program. It all came together in the television studios where Bark Park Place was taped. Bark Park Place recently won a regional Emmy for the Interactive DVD/CD ROM component. Bark Park Place has been seen on 5 PBS stations.

StoneLion recently worked on a project with KCPT channel 19 in Kansas City Missouri called Bark Park Place.
It all started with meetings to discuss what kinds of characters would be used in show. Ideas were then drawn up and reviewed. Once the final decision was made on the look of the puppets the staff at StoneLion got busy creating the puppets in our studio. |

StoneLion Puppet Theatre, Chameleon Arts Caravan and The Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department joined forces with funding by the Kansas City Neigborhood Tourist Development Fund to produce The First Annual Metro KC Earth Day Festival. From 1-5 p.m. April 22, 2007 the Brush Creek outdoor amphitheater, Brush Creek Community Center and Cleavland Street was filled with kids, adults, performers, artists and enviromentalists to help celebrate the planet. Despite a very windy day fun was had by all! Check out some of these photos and contact us to get involved for next year!
For our giant puppet parade held at the Earth Day Festival, StoneLion worked with five different community groups to create the giant butterflies. Despite the wind, our butterflies were a huge success. Look for them at other community events this summer!
New Incentive African Drumming and Jim Cosgrove, Mr. Stinky Feet, also provided crowd pleasing performances!
The Taiko Japanese Drummers for Kansas University and Esoke African Danciing were there as well.
