The Finale
Barry Mitchell:
"I just received a college degree in building a show. I didn't have to sit in a stuffy classroom or spend an entire semester. I spent 90 minutes watching Steve Petra's 'Let's Build A Show the Whole Show!' I should have paid a minimum of $1000 for this content but, thankfully, Steve made it affordable for the uneducated like me. 'Highly recommended,' is the world's greatest understatement."

Nearly and Hour & a half of Visual Instruction
"YYou dont get a crash course on how to do ventriloquism, or how to manipulate puppets. Instead Steve goes straight to the heart and concentrates on what makes routines with puppets entertaining.
He explains the eight elements that make his shows a success. He describes each one in detail, sharing what he calls the ingredients to Visual Puppet Gumbo. Using these ingredients keeps the audience involved the whole way through, which is essential for any entertainer, not just the ones with puppets.
Each ingredient is road tested through a series of 6 puppet routines, all filmed in front of a live audience. You get to see for yourself how his theory works, and begin to get a sense of how it could make a difference to your own performance. The routines feature characters that are instantly entertaining, and routines so visual you darent take your eyes off through fear of missing something...." Karl Jeffery
