From: Catesnancy-AT-aol.com Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 11:01:56 EST Subject: The Velveteen Rabbit To: %20rosesage-AT-sagecraft.com I'm currently researching the most exciting, magical way to design and stage a rather elaborate, mainstage production of "The Velveteen Rabbit," which calls for an oversized set of a child's bedroom and a garden. The cast is intended to be three human actors, and seven (or so) puppets of the title rabbit and other toys. I've been a professional theatre director for 20 years, but I am overwhelmed by the research I've been doing on everything from Bunraku to costumed characters. Can anyone offer me advice on the most effective and theatrical way(s) for puppets to play scenes with humans? Puppeteers visible, or not? Sets with multiple places for hidden puppeteers? I appreciate your input in advance.
