Bonnie found herself wanting to tour the world again, but this time with a show for kids. In addition to trying out ideas for the piece in her living room (her husband, Dan Milstein, directed the show), the growing community of local puppeteers nurtured by the Puppet Showplace Theatre gave Bonnie the resources to complete the work.=0D=0A=PST Artistic Director Roxanna Myhrum hopes the &ldquo;New Year, New Shows!&rdquo; series will draw attention to the talents of Boston-based puppeteers. &ldquo;Creating a new puppet show is an enormous undertaking for an artist&rdquo; says Myhrum. &ldquo;These performers created everything on you see on stage. We are extremely proud of their work, and can't wait to share their creativity with audiences of all ages!&rdquo;
