In 1966 [[Rhoda Barry]] became the librarian in the Ornage Free State Town of Parys, and found marionette-constructor [[Estelle van der Merwe]] active there. In 1967 she thus formed a cultural committee, on which she served, with [[Estelle van der Merwe]], Rina Human]] and [[Sonia Theron]], to promote culture, inter alia through puppetry and marionette performances.

The first production by the group was ''[[Little Red Riding Hood]]'' (Estelle van der Merwe), ''[[Fantasy]]'' (Sonia Theron), ''[[Hansel and Gretel]]'' (Rina Human) and ''[[Parys Puppet Band]]'' (Estelle van der Merwe).

This group went on to perform till 1978, including tours to various towns between 1970 and 1972. Among the other plays done were ''[[Peter and the Wolf]]'', ''[[Klaas en sy versies]]'', ''[[Moeroentoes]]'' (a story about conservation by [[Sonia Theron]]).

In this period Estelle's marionettes became larger to enable them to perform to larger audiences and she later disposed of the earlier period's small puppets.
