Ever since Meghan Piphus Peace discovered that puppetry could be an art form, it’s been a passion
Meghan Piphus Peace has always found magic in puppets. The self-trained ventriloquist and puppeteer grew up watching the sock puppets on “Lamb Chop’s Play-Along,” the hand puppets of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” and the muppets of “Sesame Street.” As a child, the characters seemed so alive, and it was only later that she learned what it took to create that sense of reality. “Puppets allow us to enter the imagination of a child,” Piphus Peace told CNN. “You think of a child playing.
How she got to Sesame Street In 2020, Piphus Peace said she was contacted by “Sesame Street” performers Matt Vogel and Martin Robinson, who asked if she’d be willing to learn the signature muppet-style puppetry of the show. It was definitely an adjustment, Piphus Peace said. She was used to doing stage ventriloquism, which involved interacting with puppets without moving the lips.
