Answer 1

Depending on the age group, you could use a watered-down version of a shakespeare play, such as A Midsummer Night's Dream. Even some of the best Disney movies were based on Shakespeare, like Lion King, which was based on Hamlet.

It really depends on what puppets you have. If you want to do something they haven't heard of try looking into fairy tales from other countries. The Greeks and Norse have a lot. There are also many Eastern European fairy tales that could be quite simple to tell but they might not have heard. I'm sure you can find some to do for any number of people you have available. If you google it, I'm sure you can find something. Good luck! Also,

You could do a puppet show about bullying, stranger danger, how to cross the roads safetly.

I guess it depends on what ages you have to present the show to but in general children learn much better with visual stimuli so a puppet show about bullying or staying safe is a perfect show to do.
