Paperhand Puppet Intervention is getting back on its feet after the destruction of Tropical Storm Chantal. The group is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new show called The Gift. It tells the stories of women who protect waterways in the oceans, with 30 performers embodying creatures, including a giant illuminated whale and a 60-foot wide ocean goddess.
Donovan Zimmerman is the co-founder and executive director of Paperand. He joined Morning Edition host Eric Hodge.
