The Fast Life Puppet Company

Our mission here at The Fast Life Puppet Company is to reach middle school and high school students across the country. We preform shows that depict scenarios involving drugs and alcohol. We hope to be able to reach out to young students by showing them in a new way how drugs and alcohol are dangerous and life altering. 

The puppets we use are rod puppets.

 

We set up scenarios of the rod puppets (in a car drinking and driving and being irresponsible). We set the plot up by making the show comical to the teenagers. We use their slang and normal day activities they will relate to. We slowly introduce drugs and alcohol and show the students how the outcome will be for one who denies opposed to those who didn't. Hopefully the students will remember the story they might have related to through this performance during a time they are faced with a decision to abuse drugs or alcohol. 

Our first production will be "Friday Night Fights Back". This is a series of scenes with the puppets enjoying a Friday night football game on a nice fall night. The events of the night turn south fast when the characters decide to partake in abusing drugs and alcohol to celebrate their football victory. 

I found a homemade clip of a "don't drink and drive" puppet show.
