- Description:
- In this interview, Gozman discusses the history of PuppetART the Detroit Puppet Theatre from its beginnings as an idea between collaborators in 1990 through its nineteen years of providing family-friendly and culturally diverse puppetry entertainment at its location in downtown Detroit from August 1998-2017, to the direction they are taking after their move to their new location in Southfield, Michigan in 2017. At the time of this interview, PuppetART had been in operation for exactly twenty years. He also talks about puppet theatre in Russia and how it compares to puppetry in the United States, the significant history of puppetry in Detroit, his career as a puppeteer, and his philosophy about the way puppetry can enrich and strengthen the life of a community and celebrate human diversity.
