Me and my goats!
That's Melodee Lenz (what a wonderful name that totally suited her) in a shot I took from the bridge where I was probably getting ready to work a marionette. I think she's using one of the chicken puppets.
I found some photos of the last time I got to work the Christmas show at the North Park Center Mall for Le Theatre de Marionette way back in 2001. Seems like ages ago! I loved that show so much. Where else could you have goats, chickens, elves, wooden soldiers, a dragon, a seahorse and an ostrich as co-stars? I'd often stay in the house between shows just because I liked it so much. It felt like a clubhouse and I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible.

The CHICKENS!!

The dragon, seahorse and some chickens, oh my!

Tina Gromova operating an elf puppet. Hanging off a hook in front of her is, I think, the dragon puppet. To her right is the mainstage where the marionettes were presented when the red shutters were opened. It was a pretty versatile set.
