Small Show 'Big in Japan'
Cody Brown recently returned from the Iida Puppet Festa (www.iida-puppet.com), Japan's largest annual puppetry festival. He performed his solo marionette show, The Kuko and Grandma Show. The show was a success and was featured on NHK, Japans national television network. Before the trip Cody spent four months studying Japanese and memorizing a translated version of his original script!
