Day in the Work Life: Behind the curtain

Friday, August 4, 2006

On this week's A Day in the Work Life, our look at how folks trade their time for money, we pull some strings with a puppeteer.

Puppeteer Steve Meltzer with one of his creations, outside the Santa Monica Puppetry Center. Steve's show is called "Puppetolio" -- "olio" being an old vaudeville term meaning "variety."
