The Little Players
- ... 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).
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)
- 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)
