Subject: PUPT: Re: Animatronic Puppeteers


AM! has booked many outside performers over the years.  Usually, prior to
playing locations, we'll recruit puppeteers local to the area.  It helps if
the performer offers some technical skills (sewing, foam
construction/repair, hair punching, radio control abilities, etc).

This list has proved to be a good communication tool for that purpose.
