Working with Scott and ImaginationWorks was such a great experience for Lake Mary Prep. Scott came in with the puppets and created an amazing learning atmosphere for my students. All of the puppets were in top shape, the dentist chair was perfect and the mask made the "gas" scene extra hilarious. Thank you so much to Scott and ImaginationWorks for making this such a fulfilling experience for my students. I recommend ImaginationWorks to ANYONE who is in the works to produce Little Shop of Horrors.

Having done Little Shop of Horrors three times in the last 14 years, I must say that renting the plants from ImaginationWorks was by far the best experience I’ve ever had when compared to the first two times I did the show. When renting the plants from ImaginationWorks, not only are you getting professional grade puppets to work with, but you’re also getting the necessary hands on training your techs need to bring the plants to life. It was an excellent masterclass in puppetry that all theatre students (whether you’re a part of the training or just watching) will walk away having learned much about puppetry performance. It is without reservation I recommend ImaginationWorks for your puppetry needs. They truly make one of the most difficult elements of the show much easier and less stressful.

Working with ImaginationWorks was a joy from start to finish. Not only were the puppets more than what we even thought possible, the professionalism in which all business was handled was superb. All pertinent information was clearly relayed as well as detailed directions as to how to operate each puppet including dimensions.
Once the puppets were in our school, Scott A. Cook held a highly informative, detailed and hands on master class on how to operate and care for the puppets. This was invaluable and he spent more time than was originally allotted. He made certain that all involved were fully aware of pertinent information and handling. It was not only full of information, but Scott made the process so much fun as well. The cast had a blast! The audiences were overwhelmed with their believability and "stage presence." We performed to full houses and standing ovations.
I would highly recommend working with ImaginationWorks when producing your own version of Little Shop of Horrors!

We had a FANTASTIC experience using ImaginationWorks for our professional series production of Little Shop of Horrors. Scott was a true pro and guided us every step of the way with the process of bringing "Audrey 2" alive! The quality of the plants and props were top-notch and the whole process couldn't have been easier. Definitely recommended!

The Audrey 2 puppets from ImaginationWorks were incredible! They really made our show into a spectacular presentation! With the excellent hands-on training from ImaginationWorks, our puppeteers were able to animate Audrey 2 and really bring her to life! Thank you so much!

ImaginationWorks was the supplier of the Audrey 2 puppets used
in our production of Little Shop of Horrors.To
say they were what was expected would be an understatement--they
were exceptional! Mr. Scott A. Cook not only delivered
as promised, he also reworked, revised and added suggestions
that made the entire operation an easier task. I can
easily recommend his puppets for any or all of the future
productions of that show.

ImaginationWorks' puppets added so
much life to our show! We always said that Audrey
2 was the real “star” of the show and with
these puppets, that couldn’t have been more
true! They were incredible. On opening
night, our producer walked up to me and said “Thank
you for fighting to get those puppets. They are
incredible!”. I couldn’t have been
more thrilled with how our production turned out and
a large part of that was due to the fabulous puppets
from ImaginationWorks. Scott A. Cook was absolutely wonderful
from start to finish and really helped us to learn how
to work and take care of these puppets. He was
very accommodating and really informative. To be
honest, the puppets are so much better in real life than
what they look like on the website. There is NO
way you won’t be happy when you rent this package!

Thank you so much for your invaluable assistance with
the rental of your beautiful Audrey 2 puppets for our
production of Little Shop of Horrors.
The show was a huge hit and much of the credit for its
success should go to your scene-stealing puppets. Their
animation was made simple with your precise instructions,
and your tips for staging Audrey 2 made her more lively.
Service from ImaginationWorks was exceptional. Delivery and
pickups were prompt, your instructions complete and (best
of all) all emails and phone calls were promptly returned.
I highly recommend your company to any group attempting
to stage Little Shop of Horrors. We
couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you again,

It was a pleasure to do business with
ImaginationWorks. Not only are the plants phenomenal, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and
provides outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend renting Audrey
2 from ImaginationWorks. They made producing Little Shop of Horrors easy. The design and fabrication of the plants is incredible. The actors,
technicians and the audience loved all four Audrey 2's. If you are producing Little Shop of Horrors, contact ImaginationWorks - you'll be
amazed.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend
the use of ImaginationWorks' services for the rental
of their Audrey 2 puppets for any production of Little Shop of Horrors. When I first received the rights
to the show from MTI, they suggested that I contact Scott
A.Cook and ImaginationWorks since I live in a rather isolated area
- Key West, FL - and it would've been prohibitively expensive
to have the plants shipped through MTI. The rental process
through ImaginationWorks was stress-free with all terms explicitly
laid out. The delivery and pick-up were all efficiently
handled by ImaginationWorks - not an easy prospect because
our theatre is in a busy, tightly congested tourist area.
ImaginationWorks provided helpful instructions and manipulation tips.
The plants are integral to the show, and ImaginationWorks' are colorful,
fairly lightweight and manageable and are excellent members
to anyone's cast.

We feel so fortunate to have found ImaginationWorks and the marvelous Audrey 2 puppets! The
training from ImaginationWorks and the experiences had by
our high school students working with Audrey 2 were
invaluable. Pods #3 and #4 were amazingly life-like and
a visual treat for the audience! Our younger students
are still talking about the show. One student was so
impressed he chose to create a ceramic Audrey 2 as his
art project. ImaginationWorks was both personable and
professional in its handling of the plant rental. We
highly recommend this company!

ImaginationWorks was exceptionally easy to
work with and the products were amazing! Audrey 2 (all
four of them) became cast members of the show just like
everyone else. I STRONGLY encourage
your customers to take advantage of the tutoring session
on how to work the plants. We found this to be the most
beneficial element to our puppeteers. All the way around,
this was an incredible experience for us and it was all
due to ImaginationWorks! Thanks so much for everything!

Anyone planning to produce Little
Shop of Horrors as part of their season would
be well advised to enlist the help of ImaginationWorks. The
plants were everything they promised, and so much more. It’s
clear that their staff has a fierce passion for staging
top drawer theatre experiences, and they’ll go
the extra mile to ensure your production
leaves audiences dazzled. After every performance,
we could hear folks leaving the theatre saying, “How
did they DO it ???” Outstanding service
and unparalleled quality !!! Thanks, ImaginationWorks!!!!

ImaginationWorks is a goldmine of a find! Renting
the Audrey 2 from them has been a dream come true! It
was everything we hoped and could ever wish for. From
the moment we picked up Audrey 2, to the moment that
we dropped her off, ImaginationWorks was in contact with us making
sure all was working out. The run down that we received
when we picked Audrey 2 up was so explicit that how
could anything go wrong? They made using the star of
our show very easy. I recommend them highly, and I would
most definitely use them again and again! Audrey 2 couldn't
have better parents! Thank you so much guys! Cape Coral
High School Drama Club thanks you from the bottom of
their hearts!
Thanks a bunch,

The Audrey 2 puppets worked out beautifully
for our production of Little Shop of Horrors. Even
though we could only rent the puppets for one week, within
a few days our puppeteer was able to present a unforgettable
performance. At times cute, sly, mischievous, evil and
deadly, the audience believed this rapidly growing presence
was a real character and a live member of the cast. Many
thanks for your great design.
