... that The Little Players performed invitation-only puppet shows out of a New York City living room for over 25 years?

Created by Hobbesy3 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:57, 25 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article is new enough (May 25), long enough (3,000 chars), neutral, cites sources, and passes the Earwig and eye tests for copyvios.

Hook is short enough and interesting, but there's not a citation for the 30 year length (the linked article says 25 years, and there's no prose about the show ending in 1982).

No QPQ, but the checker says this is their first nomination. No image.

@Hobbesy3: Can you get a source for the show ending in 82? Otherwise, we should say "over 25 years" instead of "over 30" since 25 is what's in the article. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:51, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing, The Squirrel Conspiracy! I have encountered some contradiction re: the year the troupe disbanded. A 1999 article in The Puppetry Journal says 1983, and a 2006 article in The Yale Review says 1982. I have modified the article to reflect this uncertainty, citing those two articles, and have also modified the hook as you suggest. Hobbesy3 (talk) 09:13, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is good to go now. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 18:31, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
