Meet Some Famous
Puppets
 &
Puppeteers!
 |
Below
you will find information on some of
the best known puppets and puppeteers
to have ever graced the stages of this world!
Though there are countless others
who may never be listed here. It is the efforts of many
young and old alike,
who have kept and will continue to keep
the Art of Puppetry alive!
I thank them and I thank all you puppeteers to be
for your creativity, imagination and belief
for it is these in large measure
that prompt and inspire
the Art which is Puppetry and which remains at
the heart and soul of the puppet, and our need
to communicate and share our humanness with one another!
You are Magic my friends! |
