With the help /of her 12 year old daughter Caro Weir and her two sons, Mrs. Whitney puts on pupâ€" pet shows in Waterloo as well as other parts of the county. This may seem simple enough to a viewer, but puppeteering is actualâ€" ly a complicated affair. _**Puppet shows have all the elements of any theatre art," Mrs. Whitney said, ‘"It has a problem though which is not found in the theatre. In a puppet show, many® skills are exercised by a small group or by just one person. In the theaâ€" specializing in lighting, anâ€" other in casting, script editing and so on where a puppeteer has to be all these things combined." To further illustrate her point, Mrs. Whitney Said a person may be able to make beautiful puppets, but Open Daily 9 a.m. to 6 p.m Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. S they might not be able to make it come to life. It all requires a ‘sense of timing and knowledge of producâ€" have a formula on how to make a puppet show sucâ€" cessful, but she claims a lot of it lies with a sense of timing. "I don‘t work with a word for word script," _ she said, ‘"We use an open format of sequence of ideas which we want to be coverâ€" ed, but the progression of these ideas depends on the audience response. One point may linger on while another may move quickly along. > "Particularly when workâ€" ing with children, you can‘t â€" follow _ something rigidly set. Like if you use a tape, the response to it is going to be different with each different age group you have. Then too if someâ€" thing goes wrong with the acting where there is a deâ€" lay or something, the tape keeps on going while the action has stopped." The programs Mrs. Whitâ€" ney presents are generalâ€" ly educational as well as entertaining with a theme to them rather than a plot. The puppets she uses are of four varieties, rod, stick, hand and sometimes marâ€" inettes. She makes her own pupâ€" pets and estimates she has around forty, although only about a dozen are used regularly. Unlike the theatre where an actor canâ€" not be tailor made to fit a part, puppets are. Mrs. Whitney makes her puppet keeping in mind the role it must play and it takes on a personality which generally cannot be adaptâ€" ed to another role. "The character of a puppet beâ€" comes set,"‘ Mrs. Whitney said‘‘ and it is like a friend. He has a personality and I kind bf become attached to him.

Throughout each production, Mrs. Whitney keeps her eye on the auâ€" to achieve before making it." ue She is able to do this by the type of cloth used as the back curtain and the lighting, which allows her to look through and not be seen by the audience. "I rely on this, particularâ€" ly when we‘re asking for audience response and partiâ€" cipation. By being able to: watch, I can turn the puppet to the viewer who is talking and more directly involve him in the production."‘ Mrs. Whitney‘s puppets, whether rod, hand or stick tion.
