Christopher,
I've seen that "Velveteen Rabbit" and it's a wonderful show. Made me cry.
  And it's a rabbit, not a fluffy bunny so you're still okay.  :-) 

Sometimes when I'm trying to explain to people what I do, I say I do
Family Theater, meaning that anyone in the family can enjoy it.  As
opposed to kiddie shows like Barney or Teletubbies that are target
specifically at extremely young children and are difficult for grownups
to watch.  (I'm using TV shows because I'm relatively sure people have
seen them and I don't want to offend anyone by picking on a puppeteer's
show) There is really good theater out there that is targeted for tiny
children that isn't dumbed down.  So hurrah- we're all in agreement and I
don't need to say anything else here.

I do want to let you know that Monica will be interning with me for three
months and she will become a PofA member during that time.  (maniacal
laughter) Resistance is futile, she will be assimilated.  But thanks for
the good PofA plug.
