Hi, Trish:

As for distributing flyers, have you tried your local public library?
Policies will vary, of course, but my library always acepts and distributes
information on concerts, theater, etc.  It's worth a shot, I think.

Subject: PUPT: Moving Ears

Has anyone out there rigged rabbit puppet ears?  I need help making them
stand up or flop down.  I haven't played with animatronics and I would
rather just have some sort of hand operated mechanism inside the puppets
head.  Of course I will be making a fiber glass head, so it will have a
hard base.  I'm also going to rig a blinking eye (I've done that before)
and will also need to create "fangs" for the rabbit that come down.  I
think I have an idea for that as well, but the ears are what I'm needing
right now.  Could you guess I'm doing a puppet for Bunnicula?  Pretty
obvious.

Also, who had the animatronics book for sale on their website?  I'm
interested in perusing that right now.

O.K., one more question while I'm at it.....  I have a fairly new puppet
theatre venture.  I'm doing puppet shows at a small theatre here in town
and I want to increase the size of my audience.  The house seats 240 and
we're getting about 40 people, mostly pre-schoolers.  I've sent fliers
to pre-schools here in town.  Elementary schools, for the most part,
won't accept fliers.  You can advertise in their paper, but it costs at
least $40 per month.  Ouch!  Any other ideas for advertising?  I've also
been doing press release notices and they have run in the local paper
for free.  So if you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it!
Hope to see bunches of you at the Festival in Oklahoma.

Trish
