The Jonah Show - Black Light Show 2011

Here are a few pictures of our recent black light show taken by one of the PIT Crew parents. These pictures were taken from a video so they aren't the clearest.


  • When you first walk in the stage area (gym) you see this sign.  It is hung up on the wall behind the stage.

Our Theme Verse
  • A green peg leg pirate and friends sing about the tale about Jonah.
Seabirds (rod puppets) and a Green Peg Leg Pirate

  • The Cap'n and Katy Pillar discuss Jonah's dilemma.  Actually The Cap'n doesn't seem to know too much about Jonah and God.  So Katy helps him out with a song.

  • The "spring chickens" as The Cap'n calls them (hardy har har) sing about being fishers of men. 


Slinky Birds

  • Jonah finds out that God is with him, even when everything is falling apart.

Jonah in the Fish
  • The people of Nineveh rejoice as the king and his queen decide to follow God's ways.
Dancing Puppets


  • This is our amazing PIT Crew team, made up of 6th graders up!  People are always amazed when they see how young most of them are.  They are dedicated to the show and work very hard.  Thank you PIT Crew!

    Adam,

    Thank you so much! I know that this is hard to find. I have this information that I found. But my CD did come with a package deal on only144.com and that is the first I'd heard of Bigsby. He has some very fun songs!

New Puppet: Giddy

I made a new puppet over the weekend.  She is going to be used in some skits for Wednesday night kids' lessons at church.  We use a pre-written skit from a company called High Voltage Kids and this unit calls for a girl named Giddy.  Giddy is a little country girl who wants a pony. Here she is: I used this shape as a base and adapted it as I went.  I wanted to try something different and I like the elongated mouth shape.  I think she turned out very cute.  She is the first puppet I ever made for myself and I can't wait to use her next week! I will use this pattern shape again, but with more modifications.  I didn't sew her mouth, it's glued. I prefer to sew, but when I'm working with a new design I sometimes get ahead of myself and forget a step.  It may sound silly, but it happens.  Just like I never remember to take pictures of the process. One day I will plan the photos and actually remember to take some. The best part about th...

Puppet Making Tip: Hot Glue Gun Accessory

 As a puppet maker and crafter I use the hot glue gun often. You would think I would learn not to burn myself and to keep that cup of cold water nearby but I still forget after all these years.  And no matter how hard you try, sometimes you still burn yourself on the glue that gushes out and sometimes just the heat coming through the fabric can be very painful. I found these Thermal Thimbles on clearance at Walmart and immediately saw the potential! They are originally for ironing but they are PERFECT for working with the hot glue gun.  I've tried them already and they work great.  The glue doesn't stick to them, it peels right off. I wish I'd known about these years ago! I purchased mine on clearance but they aren't very expensive at regular price and they are worth every penny.  I am grateful for them each time I work with the hot glue gun.  They allow me to pinch and put pressure in tight space that in the past I would have used a chop s...

How to Begin a Black Light Ministry Introduction: What is a Black Light Show?

So, why black light? First of all, using black light is just cool. It's so vibrant and colorful.  But mostly there are things you can do in black light that you can't get away with in regular lighting situations.  Black light can be magic! If you want to start a black light ministry you need to understand the principles of black light theatre. Black light is UV lighting that reflects white and fluorescent colored items like paint, fabric, poster board and paper. The principle of a black light show is to have everything blacked out so that only the colors of the puppets, props or clothing show. You can create anything your imagination dreams up for a black light show! Generally the colors that glow best are white (not all whites glow), neon pink, neon orange, neon green and neon yellow.  Occasionally you can find some neon blue and purple but they don't show as bright as the other colors.  Since you have a limited color palette you mus...
