I want to start rehearsals for Momotaro in July so I have a little more than a month to finish the script, build a stage, make props and finish all the puppets. Here's where I'm at with the Gold Oni:

It's really the script I'm worried about. I really want to do a good job but...this is my mindset:
PUNCHOh Hello! Hello! Hi! How are ya! Hello! Hello! Judy! Judy-judy-judy!JUDYHere I am Mr. Punch now what is it you want?PUNCHA Kiss!JUDYA Kiss! I'm not going to give you a kiss in front of all these people!PUNCHWhy Not?JUDYWhy not? I'll tell you why not. Because they'll all laugh at me and make that terrible 'Woooo' sound!PUNCHNo they won't!JUDYOf course they will.PUNCHNo they won't.JUDYYou think so do you? Well I'll prove it to you. And Ladies and Gentlemen this is your chance to redeem yourselves and prove me wrong, so no laughing or woooing! Very well, Mr. Punch, I'll kiss you but first I must blow my nose. (loudly blow raspberries while wiping nose on curtain. PUNCH makes gross noises) Here we go.PUNCHKiss!JUDYOh Mr. Punch I heard them didn't you?PUNCHI must have missed it.JUDYYou missed it! How could you miss it? Very well I'll kiss you one more time and you better pay attention!

So. Judy's been Kissing the Postman?
Oh yes...Judy is actually way worse than Punch, you know. Everyone in a Punch show is. Basically you take an ordinary guy, make a list of all the people in his life which may cause him to go postal, make those people extremely over the top and send them to Punch. That's the whole story.
