Staging the Puppet Show

Drawing on his years as an art teacher in the New York City high schools and colleges as well as his numerous production designs for live- and puppet-theatre, Jero Magon's intent is "to vitalize the puppet theatre in terms of modern trends in aesthetics, scenery, production techniques, lighting, and stage design." A clear, concise discussion of an array of stimulating ideas - liberally illustrated with historic photographs and the author's graphics.
