Pam Arciero returns to Puppet Tears for an exciting
part-two of our ongoing conversation (plus our first guest
interview during shelter-in-place). Pam is the veteran Muppet
performer best known for her role as Grundgetta Grouch, and is also
Artistic Director of the National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene
O'Neill Theater Center.
As our second returning guest, Pam catches us up on what effects
COVID-19 is having on this year's puppetry conference, how future
seasons of Sesame Street may reflect the pandemic in its
curriculum, and the implications that social distancing can have on
puppet performing. We also discuss a topic she most wanted to bring
up, what style of puppetry she hopes will see a resurgence, and a
brand new puppet tears story you won't want to miss!
