A "Puppet Rampage" has overtaken the Twin Cities this week. Members of the organization Puppeteers of America are holding their national festival in St. Paul and Minneapolis. One of the festival keynoters is Obie Award-winning performance artist Paul Zaloom. During the 90s, Zaloom starred in the cable TV series "Beakman's World." He's performing his latest puppet production tonight at In the Heart of the Beast Theater in Minneapolis. It uses an ancient Middle Eastern shadow puppet tradition to lampoon 21st-century America. Minnesota Public Radio's Chris Roberts reports.
