The International Language of Puppets (continued)
Raven Kaliana has frolicked her days away at Folkmanis Puppets (www.folkmanis.com) since 1997. Currently working on designs for a shadow puppet show, Raven also sculpts marionettes and learned to carve classic Czech marionettes from master woodcarvers in Prague.
Elaine Kollias, contributing to this article, has been enraptured in the puppet world of Folkmanis Puppets since 1986, where she designs and markets puppets. As a mother of a five year old, Elaine is taking her daughter's puppeteering advice and ideas very seriously.

All the Backyard's A Stage
Though all the world's a stage, the perfect place for kids to debut their
dramatic talents may be in your own backyard. With a favorite book in hand,
a couple of bed sheets and some clothespins, and a lot of imagination,
Broadway is just a step or two off the porch.
Broadway Bound Books
Our collection of fables, fairytales, folktales, and story books readily
awaiting their stage debut.
