How would you like

to meet a real ven-triloquist? Well we did! Mark Wade

gave a few minutes before his amazing and awesome Sep-

tember 14th perfor-mance to answer

some questions.

Mr. Wade’s

favorite puppet is Marvin the Gorilla. His first puppet

was Harry the Horse which he got while he was in col-

lege. He now has 50 puppets at his

house. However, he has sold many. He does not make his

own puppets, but he does design

them. Mary Ann Taylor makes them for $600-$1000

each.

Mr. Wade be-

came interested in

ventriloquism when he was eight years

old. He had checked out a book on ven-triloquism from the

library. He practiced through high school

and college. He used his talent when he became a teacher.

Later, he decided to make it his career.

He knows many oth-er puppeteers, in-cluding some who

work with the Mup-

pets.

Mr. Wade’s work with puppets and ventriloquism

includes writing jokes and using dif-

ferent voices. He said that he does

comedy, so jokes just come to him. He actually writes

jokes for other peo-ple. When asked

how he changes voices, he said he uses 3 basic voices:

a high voice, a mid-dle voice, and a low

voice. He practices with the puppets to perfect the different

voices.

The “Bizzzy” Mrs. Kilbarger

The cool Mrs. Kilbarger is the one who sits behind the desk in the awesome office. She helps Dr. Sheets, an-swers the phone, deliv-ers staff mail to their mailboxes, types up the hornet award certifi-cates, and deals with

late students.

This amazing woman has worked here for six years. She must be a good staff member. She does not even think

about retiring someday.

Mark Wade is a real-ly funny guy. He makes the puppets talk and say funny

things. He is hilarious. My favorite puppet was the

horse. A funny part was that the ape did not want to go back in the box. The

ape said the TV does not work in there. When Mark

Wade put him back in the box, he screamed really loud . It was funny. Every

year we see him, he gets more funny/hilarious. He is the most hilarious guy

ever. He said he's been to a lot of schools. It must be

very exhausting.

By Gabriel Stewart

Mark Wade is funny because he made the horse do funny jokes and a funny

song. I liked it when he counted 1 to 10 with his

mouth open and his tongue moving up and down. It was funny when he made

the big lip talk on the kid’s

face.

By Gracie Thress

Mark Wade had some funny puppets. He

made them talk and

we all laughed. My favorite part was when he put the

lips up to Dylan’s face. It was funny when his ape

was afraid to go back in to

a case.
