Cleveland Ohio Puppet Company to perform at Festival in Iran

Natural Bridges Puppet Production Company is proud to announce that they
have been chosen to perform their comedy show “NBTV PRESENTS” Nutty &
Friends at the 11th Iran International Student Puppet Theatre Festival in
Tehran, Iran from November 28 to December 05, 2009.

“NBTV PRESENTS” Nutty & Friends is a 30-minute, live-stage show starring
the NB Puppets and some humans, and features ventriloquism, puppetry,
comedy, music, dancing, and lots of audience participation.  In addition,
the NBTV Team will also be conducting a workshop about mouth-style
puppetry and ventriloquism.  The NBTV Team is made up of people from
different ethnicity, backgrounds, cultures and beliefs, and is comprised
of Kirk Maynard, Ventriloquist & NB Puppeteer; Russ Durr, NB Puppeteer;
Cortez Jenkins, Human Cast; Rebecca Wilde (from Q-104), Human Cast; and
Rodger Russ, Crew.

Natural Bridges PPC, a company based out of Parma Heights, Ohio is honored
to be among the few, if any, puppet companies from the United States to
ever be chosen to perform in Iran, and believe that this is a great
opportunity to help ease tensions between the two countries.  This will be
the first time that the company has ever performed in Iran.  This is a
great opportunity not only for Natural Bridges PPC, but for the City of
Parma Heights, the City of Cleveland, the State of Ohio, and the United
States, and Natural Bridges PPC is hoping to change their status from
unofficial goodwill ambassadors to official goodwill ambassadors.

Natural Bridges PPC is seeking corporate sponsorships for the tour to help
cover some of the costs for flying the NBTV Team to the festival and back.
 All expenses of local hospitality, accommodations, food and local
transportation will be borne by the festival.

For more information on the NBTV Team, including video clips, show
posters, and past tours to Europe and in the United States, please visit
