There’s a unique puppet in the Canadian Museum of History that was created here at Mermaid Theatre. Tom Miller (co-founder of Mermaid Theatre) created a "mouth and rod" puppet for the production of Glooscap's People, Madoonak the Stormmaker (remounted as The Wabenaki).

 

A mouth puppet has a distinguishable mouth that uses flexible materials which allow for manipulation of the puppet’s mouth.

 

The rod puppet is a puppet that has a rod attached to the limbs and can be manipulated by the puppeteer to move its arms.

 

If you want to move the other limbs on the puppet, it will require the help of another puppeteer.
