Aanika’s Elephants is a stage show featuring puppetry that is about a young Kenyan girl who meets a baby elephant at the orphanage where her father works.  The show was written by Emmy Award winning Sesame Street writer Annie Evans and directed by Sesame Street and Muppets puppeteer Pam Arciero. Annie and Pam also produce the show along with Jean Marie Keevins who puppeteers in the production as well.  I sat down with Annie, Pam and Jean Marie for a discussion about the show and its development.  During our discussion we were also briefly joined by Sesame Street Puppeteer Martin P. Robinson who built the puppets for Aanika’s Elephants making this an all hands on deck episode of Under The Puppet.
