Billy-Club Puppets- Production Photos 4


At the top is JULIE MCMAHON with a Smuggler Puppet and below PETE TAMEZ in a comic scene with PAT DIAS and JACK KIRKPATRICK, and a look at the detail of the set for THE BILLY CLUB PUPPETS.

I spent a good deal of time with the cast, instructing them in the proper manipulation of the puppets so that it didn't seem as if they were just props for a gimmick effect. Not everyone can master the finer details of emoting through one's hands that a good puppeteer must be able to do. But these actors and dancers were at least a few steps above the average and so it was fairly easy to get them on board. The result made for some very effective theatre, both Live and Puppet.
