Puppet Stuff, Gepetto Dreams

from Gepetto, December 9:

Geppetto Dreams Puppet Company has a hundred incredible artisan hand/rod and sock puppets looking for homes with kids in need of a smile for Christmas. If you know of such a kid or even a whole bunch of those kids please contact us and we' ll get you on the list...
Happy Holidays,
Geppetto

Also... Looking for people interested in building a dream. Some lifting involved… Interested parties must have a serious love for the art of puppetry. Newly formed non-profit Puppet Company is in need of puppeteers in the city that insists on keeping it weird… Austin, TX.

Austin’s already a big music and film town; we want to make it a puppet town as well. We’re looking for artists interested into making a new start. Experienced puppet folk would be great but prefer candidates that have a background in dance, theater, mime, performance art, or comedy… or a combination of any those. Oh and if you’re a puppet builder that’s even better. We’ll train you if you’re just into starting something new. The main thing is you have to love what you do… You don’t make a lot of money and it helps to have a straight job. We started full time in Austin Fall of 07 and in less then a years time we have our own theater, imagine what we could do with your help! We’re only looking for dreamers as this is something we love. Only the creative need apply.

So lets wrap up we’ve got the finances to produce shows, the equipment, access to grants, a great venue, and a ton of puppets… we just need a few more puppeteers to make it work… For those wanting to see what we do, go to www.geppettodreams.com
