Discerning businessman is seeking highly skilled puppeteer to provide sophisticated entertainment daily. Somewhat flexible hours, but must be willing to make a full-time commitment. You must possess:
*Excellent handwork
*Familiarity with marionette, stick and shadow puppets
*Ability to adapt to unusual puppets
*Subtle mastery of character
You can provide your own puppets if you wish, or you can choose from my wide selection of models. Especially seeking individuals in possession of 19th century marionettes or exotic east asian varieties. I have a reasonably sized stage (13' x 10') set up in my living room with a wide variety of vintage backdrops for many different stories.
Serious inquiries only please. Email your resume with cover letter and photograph of puppets.

Someone in my office said that it seemed "shades of Being John Malkovitch." Creepy.

that is definitely a WTF. maybe he doesn't want people to use a puppet at all, but to just play with something...
