Making Of A Writer (9780307820464) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
These drapes were made of dark red velvet trimmed with gold fringe, and the matching piece stretched over the center part of the window was rounded at the top. After the drapes had been taken down, my creative mother took a second look at them and thought what a wonderful covering they’d make for a puppet theater. Daddy designed and made a folding frame that could be taken apart and transported in the trunk of our car. Mother redesigned the drapes to cover the frame and wrote scripts adapted from traditional fist-puppet plays and fairy tales. Our entire family helped make and paint fist puppets, their heads papier-mâché, and Mother sewed their costumes. Then Mother, my sister Marilyn, and I memorized our parts. Pat, who was only three at the time, was given a small part, too. Her job was to sit in the audience, a darling doll with a big bow decorating her blond hair. When Punch called out, “Where do you think I got my big red nose?” Pat had to shout back, “From eating red apples!”
