Art Grueneberger talks about how he decentralized his puppetry business. He discusses how he increased his revenue, how he systematized his sales, and explains how he trains puppeteers to perform his shows.
Art is a Director, Producer, and Puppeteer. Art became fascinated by puppetry while pursuing a degree in teaching. In his last year of college, he took a puppetry course that took him off teaching path and onto a successful career as a puppeteer. He mentored under master puppeteer Richard Bay where he performed for countless audiences and was encouraged to build his own shows.
In 1995, he founded Puppet Art Theater Company which now has eighteen productions that tour nationwide completing more than 600 performances every year.

Cody Clark explains how to sell your show to specialty markets. He discusses how to get into fringe festivals, how to build relationships with organizations, how to get onto TV, and how to build a show that your audience wants to see.
Cody is a 25 year old professional magician and autistic self-advocate from Louisville, KY. He was diagnosed as autistic at 15 months and his parents were told he’d never walk, talk, get married, or have a job. Instead, he had a wonderful childhood and at the age of 11, was so inspired by participating on stage at a magic show that he became a magician. He joined the Louisville Magic Club, studied at the Jeff McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, and used his Bachelors degree in Marketing/Theatre Arts from the University of Louisville to learn how to run his business.
His flagship show is A Different Way of Thinking, a 45 minute theatrical magic show which weaves his experiences living with autism into his magic routines. He performs this show on the U.S. Fringe Festival circuit, in middle/high schools, and directly for autism organizations. He's also developed a 30 minute sensory friendly magic show for audiences with moderate to severe disabilities, and he has a children's magic show themed to railroading called Conductor Cody. The current highlight of his career came in March 2018 when Cody shared the Louisville Palace stage with magic legend and fellow Louisville native Lance Burton.
