As a child I was fascinated with marionettes. I must have been a persuasive 9-year-old, because I was able to talk my way into an internship with the incomparable Tom Tichenor who operated a puppet theatre at our local, public library. Without question, my jobs have been all downhill from there.
The production I worked on was Jack and the Beanstalk. I sure wish I had some magic beans to trade for one of artist Claire Oswalt’s pieces.

Just for fun, below is a You Tube of the famous marionette show scene from The Sound of Music. Why not?
Absolutely amazing and inspiring!
I agree completely!
Bravo!
