Susan Wall and Carousel Puppets have been delighting audiences for over 35 years.  As artistic director, Susan creates all the puppets and oversees all aspects of the productions.  Shows are available for all occasions: pre-schools, elementary school assemblies, libraries, parks, holiday and Christmas parties, corporate events, shopping malls, camps, company picnics, and birthday parties, just to name a few.  Puppet making workshops are also available for children and adults.  In the children's workshop, Susan guides the children in the making of a puppet of their own to take home.  We can also provide goody bags for children to take home.

We primarily serve the entire DC metropolitan area: Northern Virginia, Suburban Maryland and Washington, DC.

In addition to pulling strings as a professional puppeteer, Susan Wall is also a trained actress and singer.  Her stage presence captures the children's attention from the start as she puts on a musical puppet show that will thrill and delight audience members of all ages.

Susan's puppet engagements have taken her throughout the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.  She has toured with Nicolo Marionettes and the world-famous Bil Baird Marionettes and has appeared off-Broadway in the Bil Baird production of Alice in Wonderland.  Recently, Susan took a class at the University of Connecticut with world-renowned master puppeteer, Albrecht Roser, where she learned some advanced puppetry techniques.
