Peace Through Puppetry

A pretty well-known means of promoting peace, these days, with Bread and Puppet offspring showing up at virtually every march. But I just stumbled across the website of UNIMA-USA, the US arm of an international organization (l’Union Internationale de la Marionette) whose goal is promoting “peace and… mutual understanding” through the use of puppetry. Jim Henson was the first US chair, in 1966. Includes a directory of puppet theaters all over the US.
