Yesterday, during the first day of our fall rehearsal, we found that 8 puppets had been stolen out of our van. These are puppets that took us months to create for our show, "Little One Inch." I don't have to tell you how devastating this kind of loss is, and while we are doing what we can to find them, we can not waste any time to try to recreate them in the next month, before the show is scheduled to go on tour. I've attached two photos, not sure if this is allowed. Photos of two of the missing puppets, The Princess and the Daimyo, can also be viewed here: http://picasaweb.google.com/TearsofJoyTheatre/LittleOneInch The characters are all Japanese, in very detailed costumes made mostly of silk. Their heads are paper mache (no molds were used to create them), wooden hands, bunraku-style. The other missing characters are: Issun (Little One Inch Boy)- two versions- one, about 20" tall in a blue shirt and green pants, and the other about 30" tall in a light blue shirt and gold and while pants. There's also the Daimyo's messenger, Grandma, Grandpa, and a Kappa (a strange Japanese mythical creature who has the shell of a turtle, arms and legs like a frog and the beak of a bird). If anyone sees these (or has seen these) anywhere, please let me know! I figure these days, with the internet, they could appear anywhere. Not sure when the van was robbed, it was parked since the end of June. Interestingly, they left several characters and even the sound and light equipment.
