LA's Mobile Puppet Theatre


We listened in awe to the NPR story about LA artist Joel Kyack and the puppet show he performs in the back of a truck on the congested freeways of southern California. The show is called "Superclogger" after the name given by locals to describe the notoriously bad traffic jams that occur on the LA freeways.

Meat & Potato is a great supporter of all things puppet and loves that Mr. Kyack and friends are taking them to the streets...literally. Mr. Kyack has even discovered a way through a short wave FM signal to pipe dialog of the show directly into the radios of the cars behind him so that drivers (audiences) can hear what's being said.

Best of luck to Mr. Kyack and thanks for the inspiration!
