Summary
From the streets and taverns of colonial America, in vaudeville, on television and under the bright lights of today's Broadway stage, puppets have been a favorite form of American entertainment. This documentary chronicles the fascinating evolution of this unique art form. Archival film, rare photographs, historical reenactments and engaging interviews from some of the most influential puppeteers of the 20th century, bring the story of American puppetry to life
