Puppet-versions of U.S. presidential candidates Donald Trump
and Bernie Sanders were also on hand to mark the day at the
event hosted by the Broadway musical "Avenue Q."
"I think a lot of times people think puppetry is just for
children," said Ben Durocher, one of the stars of "Avenue Q."
"But really puppetry is an art form that can be appreciated by
all audiences, adults and children alike."
Iranian puppet artist Javad Zolfaghari created World Puppetry
Day, which was first celebrated in 2003. It is marked around the
globe on March 21.
