http://www.UnderThePuppet.com – Nicolas Coppola became enchanted by puppetry at an early age.  This enchantment lead to a life of building, performing and running puppet companies that has lasted over 70 years.  He created shows for The Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. and had a long standing job creating shows and performing at Macy*s in New York City.  He also created PuppetWorks, a non-profit marionette theater in Park Slope Brooklyn, New York that has entertained families since 1980.  I chat with Nicolas Coppola about his amazing career on this episode of Under The Puppet.
