OK, I have been having trouble following this thread because I seem  
to be missing every other posting.  However, Tim has set a very  
reasonable context in which to have a discussion- puppetry in  
legitimate theater.  "Legitimate theater"  is a commonly used phrase  
to specify a certain type of theater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ 
Legitimate_theater).  Getting politically correct over the use of the  
word "legitimate" is counter productive and at best has the  
appearance of ignorance.  It would be the same as claiming the phrase  
"straight line" is homophobic.

As the original poster, Tim exercised his prerogative to create a  
context for his posting.  Perhaps the reluctance to actually address  
Tim's questions in the context is an answer in its self.

Question for Tim:  does your definition of legitimate theater include  
opera and musicals or not?

Jon
