About the Puppeteer:
Wonderment Puppet Theater
For the past 10 and half years, Wonderment puppets have had a permanent home in Martinsburg, WV. The theater provides six original puppet shows a year. It also has an interactive play area for before and after show fun, a gift shop, and a studio for creating future shows. Owner and puppeteer, Joe Santoro, who otherwise works as an art teacher at Hedgeville Elementary School, along with his wife Jane, always give personal attention to anyone with a curiosity for puppetry or the making of the theater.
