New members to the CastIron Carousel came by the shop tonight to play with puppets and rehearse "The Horrible House of Dr. Hadrian" in preperation for Drunk Puppet Night.
It was great! Folks shared their arts, talents puppets and good energy. Facilitated by snacks and mutual interests, we ran through the act we will be performing, the workings of the stage and a little bit of puppeteer training. We worked out some of the kinks in the play, the expected hurdles and details to overcome. The best part is that we all worked together well. This play does not *yet* offer much for everyone to do but it's a great springboard for each person to dip a toe into the water and see if he likes it.
I can see that this group of talented people will have little trouble working together on future plays to create something truely incredible.
I am so excited to see what we can do!
