The Life of a Professional Performer

A full-time children's performer describes routine (and NOT so routine!) happenings as he goes from schools to libraries, and even to people's homes to perform magic, puppets, and storytelling for children across America.

I am a full-time Children's performer. I create educational and motivational programs for schools, libraries, and other educational institutions. The programs teach new subject matter while inspiring the children to continue the learning process through self-directed learning. In other words, my goal is to get kids to read more!

Petey the Opossum's New Clothes

Well, here he is. This is Petey the Oppossum. He's got on his All-Star baseball jersey, his cool matching baseball cap, a new pair of shoes, and his reading glasses.

I LOVE the glasses. They add so much character. I am very excited about working them into the show as well. I'm not sure how yet, but it will be interesting to see how it develops.

He also has a new get up for his participation in "Go Wild". Go Wild is the show I do on Science and the Scientific Process. He's got a vest like mine and a pith helmet. It looks good.

Lastly, he had to have a Hawaiian style shirt with a pair of sunglasses so he can try out for next year's presentation: "Set Sail".

We'll see how he does. Of course, I'll keep you posted.

By the way. If you haven't visited Petey's Web Site, you might want to do that. He shares a site with my other puppets and some live animals. The URL is www.DavidHopperfield.com
