Review of Olympic Puppeter
Having missed the opening ceremonies, I can’t testify as to whether the profiled puppeteer’s touch was apparent. This straightforward conversation/report focuses on the puppeteer’s background and approach to pageantry production. It’s timely if aired right quick, of local interest to Philadelphians, and includes an insightful comment on how ill-thought-out pageants can go awry.
