Does anyone know anything about a puppet piece of Peter Pan being done on the
East coast?  A friend told me about a segment he saw yesterday on CBS This
Morning.  
Apparently the group produced the piece for a festival in Charleston.  There
was a live actor doing narration and six puppeteers doing traditional bunraku
style puppets (i.e., three puppeteers per puppet).  The puppeteers were
dressed all in white in Victorian style clothing with their "hoods" being
made of large hats with veils.  He said it looked incredible.

Does anyone know who this group is?  Or where they are from?  Or anything at
all about them?  My friend said he believed the story came from New York, but
was not sure that was the home of the troupe.

Any info would be appreciated.  

Regards,

Rosemary
