The Art of Interviewing | Osceola 2025
Project type
Applied Puppetry | Workforce Reentry | Bilingual Workshop
Date
June 2025
Location
Osceola County Corrections Department
Collaboration
Open Scene | University of Central Florida
In June 2025, Open Scene collaborated with the University of Central Florida on The Art of Interviewing, a four-week bilingual puppetry program at the Osceola County Corrections Department. Led by Dr. Tyler Fisher and Leah Basaria, participants built 44 puppets and used role-play to practice job interviews, develop communication skills, and explore future-facing identities for reentry. The resulting puppets later entered a public library exhibition, extending the work from a correctional classroom into the community.
