Puppet Information

Type of Puppet

Princeton is a single-rod Puppet, which means if the puppeteer is right-handed, the right hand goes inside the puppet and controls the mouth. If he/she is left-handed, it is vice versa. The puppeteer's left hand holds the rod attached to the puppet's left hand, and the puppet's right hand is pinned to its side. Should the puppet need to manipulate a prop, the puppeteer holds the puppet's hand and the prop, creating the illusion that the puppet is holding the object.

Puppeteers

The original puppeteer for Princeton was John Tartaglia, who brought Princeton to life on Broadway.

John Tartaglia

John Tartaglia is shown here, performing as Princeton.

Like most puppeteers who played Princeton, Tartalgia also performed as Rod. John Tartaglia performed as the duo since the show first began on July 31st, 2003, all the way until January 30th, 2005. He then decided to try other things, ultimatley creating (and starring) in his own kid's puppet show, Johnny and the Sprites.
