Offering valuable words of advice for aspiring puppeteers, Tips & Techniques: Storytelling with Puppets and Props features two entertainers--librarian Karen Quinn-Wisniewski and Schroeder Cherry--who share their thoughts and suggestions on picking out a story (from fairytales, children's books or real stories--Schroeder's show is based on the Underground Railroad); determining which puppets, props and sets will best serve the performance; and tactics for actively engaging the viewers in traditional, improvised, or pre-taped programs. Stressing the importance of rehearsing; coordinating voice, gestures and movement; and--above all--having fun, the program also features a list of additional puppet resources. Recommended.
