Liao Wen-ho Puppet Show Troupe was founded in 1976. As a young boy, Liao Wen-ho began playing with puppets. His puppets were larger than usual. Hence, his skills were more sophisticated. He was also capable of mimicking more than twenty character’s voices. At a time when TV viewing was not so popular, his troupe’s performances, both indoors and outdoors, could attract a large audience. With the dominant presence of TV, audiences for puppet theater have dwindled. However, Liao Wen-ho did not submit to the decline in interest; he invested a huge sum of capital into the renovation of puppet theater, including enlarging the stage and increasing the number of props. Now he not only owns the oldest traditional puppet, but has also created the largest puppet as well as the nation’s largest puppet stage. He constantly works at improving puppet theater performance. For many years, the Liao Wen-ho Puppet Show Troupe has dedicated itself to educational theater at the local level. Meanwhile, it has also adapted performances in accord with the changing spirit of the times.
