Growing up as a child I was exposed to puppetry when my younger brother Shane received a Pelham Puppet as a Christmas present. My father ‘Tiny’ Steenkamp, who was a singer having performed in the West End of London soon became hooked on puppets which led to more attributions of both marionette and ventriloquist ‘dolls’. Having been brought up in the world of theatre, our family did charity shows and soirees for many years, which now included puppet shows for both young and old.
In 1992, my dad announced that the Puppets were on the market, which devastated me and it was then that I decided it was time to do something with these little guys. I launched my first show at the end of 1992, and Dad and I did a few schools together. Slowly the stage was re-built, and mobile equipment, a mini-piano, and numerous props were made. Debbie, Leo, and his friends have visited many homes for the elderly and schools country-wide over the years and, have done numerous birthday parties. 
After starting a publication and spending a total of 8 years in Nelspruit, I received a book prize at a meeting called “Living your Passion”… it was then that I decided to go back to Gauteng and bring the puppets back to life, entertaining and bringing joy and laughter to both young and old nationwide… The puppets have visited many places all over South Africa, oh, and Leo even met Mickey Mouse in Disneyworld.

REVIEW: “I won this as a prize. They gave the show for my daughter’s second birthday. I was so incredibly impressed. The kids loved every second. It is a very interactive show with amazing props. They are so friendly and professional and it is an absolute treat for the children. If you want to do something special for your child I would highly recommend getting them to do a show for you. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s birthday one she will remember.”
