   I don't think this has been mentioned, probably because they are not as
well suited to puppet theater... but you can use regular spotlights to
generate the "curtain of light". These are the kinds of lights that have
lenses in them.  There are tabs on the side called shutters that allow you
to close in the edges of the beam.  You should be able to adjust them town
to a slit for the curtain of light.  The drawback for puppeteers is that
these are not small, compact units.  They also have a fairly narrow beam,
compared to something like what Jim Gamble uses.  So the light can't just be
mounted to the stage.
