This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is Donovan Zimmerman — co-founder and director of Paperhand Puppet Intervention!
Now in its 22nd year, Paperhand Puppet Intervention has been bringing joy, insight and a unique art form to the community for over two decades, and that longevity is in no small part thanks to Zimmerman’s passion for puppetry and interest in keeping local theater arts alive and well!

Yes, so correct! What meaning and joy Donovan and Jan bring as well as the troupe he mentioned as his career inspiration: Bread & Puppet in Vermont, my favorite too. Every puppet troupe I have asked in America nods when I ask them if they interned at B&P. Paperhand’s gifts come back as appreciation and more giving to all of us & us to each other.
