This week on Puppet Tears, we're joined by our good friends Alex Vernon and Sarah Olmsted Thomas to talk with us about their storied careers as performance artists. Their theater company Alex & Olmsted has devised many works for stage including Homebodies, Marooned! A Space Comedy, and Milo the Magnificent; the latter two productions were made possibly by grants from the Jim Henson Foundation.
We talk to Alex and Sarah about their early influences as performers and how they found puppetry, their process of creating puppetry theater with little or no text, and some great tools to help you overcome stage-fright. Don't miss this deep-dive into magic puppets and puppet magic!
