Our puppet-theater director, Randal
Metz, is also a respected historian of puppets and puppetry. Recently, while
researching the history of puppeteers in California, he came across an article in
the Puppetry Journal – the quarterly magazine of the Puppeteers of America –
that caught his eye. It wasn’t about puppets or puppeteers: It was about shoes.
And not just any shoes: the special footwear used by some height-challenged puppeteers
to make them tall enough to do their job.
