PBS Channel 15 in Daytona, Florida has posted to YouTube a segment from their Faces and Places series about their local puppetry community (click for parts one and two). After after New York and L.A., Central Florida is slowly but surely becoming the third major hub of puppetry activity in the U.S. and the video features several notable members of the Orlando puppet scene, including Heather Henson and Jamie Donmoyer (co-producers of the The Orlando Puppet Festival), James Donmoyer, John Kennedy and Tom Blasco.
If you want to see the emerging Central Florida puppet scene for yourself, make plans to attend the Orlando Puppet Festival November 7 - 9 in Orlando. Watch www.orlandopuppetfestival.com for details.
