Picture a fairly ordinary living room scene assembled out in the wild: comfy chairs, coffee table, etc. But as you approach, you notice this space exhibits a rather peculiar ambiance....

Sure, the furniture is a little old-fashioned (stuffed armchairs, a grandfather clock, an ornate rug) but there is something else... The grandfather clock seems to have been overtaken by flowers, and a plethora of visually interesting, yet not at all useful, collections of beguiling items encourage exploration.
Suddenly, you notice that there are crows perched around the room (and is that a crow-sized piano!?!). It turns out that the room’s inhabitants are puppets!
You can animate the puppets in any way you like—have them talk out tough topics, argue, and ultimately (hopefully) come together to share a common feeling or value—or, just play! Using puppets to express yourself can be healing. After all, Family Can Be Murder.
