I am currently working on contacting Grace Serra, Art Advisor for Children's Hospital to possibly set up a puppet show for a group of children at the hospital.   After visiting the performance of Firebird at PuppetArt, I can see the benefit the performance of puppets would have with children in the hospital.    Hopefully, between Kelly from PuppetArt and I, we will be able to set something up before the end of the semester.  

Further I am researching other areas that PuppetArt could be used in.   Puppets are a very visual expression of art with the use of movement, dance and imagination.   Through the additional reading I have been doing I can see how puppets could be used with autistic children, who have difficulty expressing themselves vocally.  Through exploration with the puppets they may be able to communicate in a unique way, such as, movement.
