The Conductor
I’m fascinated by the relationship between a puppet and its audience. Why are we always so willing to believe a puppet, and get involved with its plight? How deep can this relationship go? Here, a symphony conductor must perform music, with a most unexpected group of symphony players.

Come see this, and many other freshly-baked puppet pieces, and Fresh Ideas!
