Our marionette theater evolved under the influence of two prominent art forms - film and rock and roll. The plays were written with an underlying pattern of motion and sound that supported the song of the play. Edited like a film into sharp intervals and punctuated crisply with music, actions, and entrances, our stage became a drum set -- our plays, at their best, a flow of coordinated movements. That is, three- line monologue, puppet entrance, sound, music, four-line dialogue, sound, drop, music, puppet exit, prop down, five line dialogue, new drop, dance, exit puppet, three line monologue, sound, prop, puppet exit= about two minutes of a fifty-minute play. A way of writing.
