I heard about the company long before ever seeing them. In fact I saw a show in a park while I was working in Vancouver, B.C. by two people who had worked with B & P. They were doing "The Rat Movie" a two person cranky show. Even that opened my eyes to possibility. Then while visiting friends and the Mime Troupe in SF and Oakland, I saw B & P doing a relatively small show in Berkely. Amazing of course. Finally when B & P came to Milwaukee and did an out door show and a full staging of (I cannot recall the name) a work set to the music of a Mass. It was one of several defining events that forever influenced my own work. There is a fellow in Milwaukee who has his own puppet company. At some point in time he worked with B & P and then started his company and toured in Europe. He is able to finance his company pretty much himself. His out door production work shows a great deal of B & P influence and is always fun to see. I am always amazed at how many people working in puppetry who have never experienced Bread and Puppet.
