A Doorway Puppet Stage This is an easy way to make a stage for classroom use and small puppets. It can be put up and taken down easily. Simply put an adjustable shower curtain or tension rod across a doorway. Tighten, and hang a sheet or dark material over the rod.

A Tablecloth Puppet Stage - We went on a Mission Trip this past summer and used sock puppets and a plastic tablecloth for a stage. Two people held the cloth as there was no place to tie it. We did put eyelets around the out side edges just in case we could tie it to something. We also carried some thin rope to use if needed. It worked well and was easy to carry
