This project was absolutely thrilling for Tyler to dive into, most especially learning numerous Puppetry skills including: Free Hand, Live Hand, Second Live Hand, Rod, and Trigger Puppetry. Tyler's Track fulfilled by Jennifer Barnhart in the OBC of Avenue Q was unique in the sense that when she was not portraying her own designated roles (Mrs. Thistletwat, Bad Idea Bear) she would act as Second Live Arm for characters including Nicky, and Trekkie Monster. Additionally in the "Jenn Track" as some productions refer to it, Tyler also synced up her puppetry to other actors portraying and delivering lines for their two roles acting within in the same scenes Ex. Kate Monster/Lucy The Slut, and Princeton/Rod. As a first time puppeteer, this challenge was both enriching and fulfilling, and taught Tyler
skills she hopes to revisit throughout her career as an actress.
