Puppet Pizzazz
Greg Ruhe is a professional puppeteer and creator of Puppet Pizzazz, a Houston based puppet company dedicated to providing extraordinary puppet entertainment and educational experiences world-wide. Greg developed his puppetry skills while earning his bachelor of fine arts degree from West Virginia University and continued his study of puppetry while participating at National Puppetry Conferences at the Eugene O’Neil
Theatre Center. Since then, Greg has toured the world with his unique larger- than- life puppet characters that are best known for strolling throughout special events and engaging guests with comedic conversation. He has also had the pleasure of working as a performer and teaching artist for Young Audiences of Houston, for the past 30 years. Greg’s greatest joy comes from sharing his Puppet Pizzazz in schools both locally and
internationally. He is proud to have been the guest artist at 18 International Schools, in four different continents, and is hoping for more such adventures.
