One of the first things to shut down back in March was school classes.\u00a0 We all know too well that since then, the world has been pretty weird.\u00a0 Well now in most States schools are opening back up and life is somewhat beginning to take on the form of what we have known. \u00a0 Yes there are some differences but they will slowly work themselves out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Now for Ventriloquists.\u00a0 It is time to get your puppets out of the closet and begin getting ready to do some shows.\u00a0 It is just a matter of time and you will be getting some bookings.\u00a0 Contact your local schools.\u00a0 Contact your local libraries.\u00a0 Take the time to get hold of some of your local restaurants and see if they will let you come in to do a little bit of walk around comedy in your\u00a0area.\u00a0 Make sure that when you contact local restaurants that the first thing you tell them is that you will maintain social distancing.\u00a0 Make sure that you tell them that you specialize in birthdays, anniversaries and other such types of shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Staying back (6 feet) approach tables with kids and begin trying to have conversations between your puppet and the kids.\u00a0 Make everything light hearted and be careful to not scare the little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We are just trying to give you a few ideas about how to begin to get back in the swing of things.\u00a0 If you have any ideas that might be useful for the Vent community, email us and we will pass them on to everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


We will talk again next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
