Here's a picture of the assembled structure without the curtains. Each corner is labeled, and correspond to similar markings on the pipes. The larger version (505kb) will print on 8.5x11 paper.

 If you'd like to build yourself a puppet stage, here are some instructions. This is for hand-puppets that wear size 2T (such as those offered by Puppet Productions). This is a stage that Puppet Productions used to offer. They have newer styles now.

The top three images are clickable for larger versions.

Parts list (.xls, 17kb). All is schedule 40 PVC pipe, 1.5".
