Since then I was hooked, returning to Ed Magic yearly, joining the Boston Guild and trying to get to as many regional and national festivals. There are some other Ed Magic alum also part of our Guild and attending festivals. So by moving the festival around, you should try to add Puppets: ed magic strand to all festivals (bit different than the am education workshops) and you=20 could possibly get 30-50 more local attendees who also then will bring=20 puppetry to students and recommend puppeteers to be hired in their schools. This has been suggested a few times. You can advertise in the local papers, teacher bulletins, colleges, etc. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever predicted I would be a proud card carrying P of A member... not a dramatist nor artist. but =20 Ed Magic got me into your crazy world... very happily....tho my house would be somewhat neater if I hadn't been.
