I think that your readers would be better served if you also posted the websites of other festivals around the world such as the yearly Papiertheatertreffen in Preetz (http://www.preetzer-papiertheatertreffen.de) A festival that has been of great importance for the preservation of Toy theaters and if you directed them to website where Toy Theatres still can be bought.

Thanks, for the info. The 1920 video assisted me in creating my own theatre for a performance. I am hooked.

I am a toy theatre novice, meaning I am learning. I have never built one, but had one built for me last year. I am studying the genre, and admire it mostly from afar. I would jump at the chance to apprentice under someone who has the experience and skills to perform plays but no one is near me. Thus, I study from afar through books, websites, and toy theatre groups. The best toy theatre group is on Yahoo Groups. If anyone wishes to check them out, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/toytheatre/ – most of the best toy theatre collectors and performers are members of this group, and you will learn a LOT from them if you join it…

What’s your connection to toy theaters? Do you build them, collect them?

What a fascinating post. I think that SF used to have something along these lines at the old Cliff House; it wasn’t anywhere as sophisticated or beautiful but I have a dim memory of looking at some old toy theaters there.
