Just a thought.
You do a puppet show for the public - no matter what you say
young ones ( and as Bob N. might say neo borns) will come.
You can put a suggested age range on it... but if it is for the public well
puppets + fairy tales are magnets for parents who don't read and are looking 
for something to do with their youngsters.
Just be warned ..... public forum  - you will have some inappropriate 
audience members - it is a given.
Where and how you book it might offer some better control - maybe.
