If you have performed with puppets, were you on your own or with other people? On my own - a one puppet / one person conversation.

If you have performed with puppets, did you use a stage or mingle with the audience? Used a stage only. The background, props & lighting have to be set just right.

Do you think "live" puppet shows are a disappearing art form? Yes - Their time has come and gone.

Sadly yes - we may see a few holdouts at libraries and county fairs but times have changed and today's audiences are too sophisticated for that kind of thing

Not entirely - there are still many people who enjoy the art and talent of a good puppet show

No - this art form is evolving like any other, many movie special effects are done using puppet techniques
