3 Minute Theater

Rob D’Arc began his career as an artist, writer, sculptor, and puppeteer with an apprenticeship to the French puppet troupe, “Les Marmouset.” He went on to become a walking puppet stage for Knott’s Berry Farm, a Court Magician at Medieval Times, and a puppet “boothie” at the Renaissance Pleasure Fair. Rob also spent several weeks in a hollow tree, travelling to malls in fifteen mid-western cities as Ernie the Elf (and Ernie's Mom!) in the President’s Drug Awareness Campaign / Keebler-sponsored show, “I Believe in Me.”

Rob currently tours with his puppet shows and his neo-vaudevillian act, “Professor Humbug’s Flea Circus”, which can be seen on sunny weekends at Seattle's famous Pike's Place Market. Rob sells his pop-up style puppets at the market as well, with his partner Gyan Davies, and these puppets can be viewed on their website; at planetofthepuppets.com
