Bernice Silver, Beloved Agitprop Puppeteer, Dead Of COVID At 106

PEOPLE Posted: May 22, 2020 10:02 am

“A hummingbird of a woman at 4-foot-8, [she] was a puppeteer whose performances were mock-chaotic, subtly cerebral and always slyly subversive. She made sure to slip in a history lesson, or a plug for conservation or social justice. She called them happenings, for the political theater she was schooled in. Her fellow puppeteers called her the Queen of Potpourri.” – The New York Times
