People in need of Puppet Builders

[Buck-Beaver]

Here's some leads on gigs for all the Puppet Builders out there:

In need of Bunraku puppets
I am in need of several Bunraku puppets for my performances. I would like the body to be in the Bunraku style and the head to be a hand puppet. They would need to be incredible light because I would want to operate two at a time. Please contact me so we can discuss what I am imagining in my head. Pastor Scott A.

Good luck! BTW, a lot of these posts I do come off the PofA national and guild Bulletin Boards and the puptcrit email list. They are all good sources of puppetry gigs.

Here's another lead I heard about last week that I forgot to post...it's from South Florida:

> ...Our Freshman class is planning a
> talent show and some friends
> and I were thinking of performing the song
> "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist"
> from the musical Avenue Q. Staying true to the idea
> of the production, I wanted to use puppets in our little rendition of the song.
> I am looking for quality puppets, either bought, or if too expensive, to be
> rented. Preferably puppets with large heads/mouths so that they may be seen
> even from the balcony of our auditorium.
