Subject: [Puptcrit] Who Pays For It?


I am curious.  When puppeteers build and perform "relevant" shows, 
who pays for it?  Where do you get your bookings?  How is it 
financed?  I do family entertainment.  When I put together a show, 
the expense of the build comes out of my own pocket.  I make it up 
when I book the show and perform it for parks and recs, libraries, 
summer camps, etc.   But who pays for these shows that are not in the 
mainstream?
