Puppet Camp in Texas

I've been presented with an incredible opportunity, coincidentally around my 43rd birthday. It's an intense week of puppet training, from construction through characterization, and one of the instructors is Peter Linz--Walter from "The Muppets" (2011).

Unfortunately, there's no way I can afford the class, flight, lodging... and I don't suspect you can, either. However, what does puppetry teach us if not the power of many hands?
