The Toonies
"The Toonies" is a unique mixture of music, puppets, skits and laughter, which has made it one of the most talked about family stage shows in the mid-west. Critics young and young-at-heart highly acclaim this exciting, interactive and fun-filled musical adventure.
 Within a year of The Toonies’ creation and inception, musician/comedian/puppeteer Pete Cappello joined Tricia, bringing his passion for kids, musical talents and quick-witted character voices to The Toonies. Within three years, Pete and Tricia were capturing the hearts of families full time at State and County Fairs, Music in the Parks, school tours, and larger corporate and community events.
Their greatest joy is contributing to the growth and positive development of today's children and their families. This is evident in their nationally acclaimed music CD, fabulous video, and in each and every one of their delightful live performances. The Toonies ‘ wonderful video, A VALENTINE ADVENTURE received rave reviews as well as their audio CD. The School Library Journal said, “A talented cast…well-crafted puppets…Tricia’s beautiful voice and songs…entertaining! A fabulous addition to any collection!”
Development of the characters
The Toonies’ vision is to create an interactive and entertaining environment where kids and their families share joy, laughter and love. The puppet characters along with Tricia, share life’s experiences with big helpings of kindness, encouragement, support and humor! Tricia, Pete and The Toonies share their life-lessons, always encouraging audiences to be helpful, kind and confident, and, of course, to follow their dreams!
Meet The Toonies
 Elfish provides Elvis-like antics as he recovers control of his tail with a resounding, “thank you very much...Elfish has left the building…!” He brings his own special messages to kids. |

 Donster is proud of being different. His Dad is a snake and his Mom is a lizard so … he’s a “snizzard.” He is kind of a wise guy but he listens and learns and makes smart choices. Like everyone, he wants to make friends. |
