The Starshine Marionette Theater was developed by Paul L'Ecuyer in 1984. A building in the Kiddie-Land area which housed electrical and other machinary suffered a small fire, and it was decided to remove it. Paul asked if the building could be modified as a marionette stage. It was agreed and later moved to the final location between the Ferris Wheel and the 'Rock-&-Roll' rides. Marionettes were created to resemble Celebrity singers and 15 minute shows were given four times a day. Also, the Whalom Park mascots were constructed into marionettes and performed from this location. Visit Mr. L'Ecuyer's Drawbridge Puppet Theater in Lunenburg ~ www.drawbridgepuppets.com
