Finally, you have the option of choosing rod puppetry. This is not so different from marionette driven shows, the only major difference being that the experts will operate the dummies from below and not above. During a show, the experts remain concealed using different staging elements. In the majorities of cases, proficient puppeteers use marionettes alongside rod puppets to deliver detailed and outstandingly entertaining productions.

As the art received more and more warm reception, shows like The Muppet Show and Sesame Street came to life.
