Say, who plays Gerdie?? I might be mistaking Gerdie for one of the puppet characters, but I'm talking about the human character on the show. I'm sure that I've already asked you this, but just to be sure...
Interesting!! I've never been to one of your local shows, so, thanks for the info. But, who plays Dr. T?Gerdie is actually the little pink character ... Dr T (Dr Ophelia Tottlebottom) is our human character. She was a major part of our puppet theater for years so our local fans love her ... We are trying not to make the humor too "inside" as far as our local fans allready knowing some of her eccentricities ... but i will explain her a bit...
She is a lover of birds and bird expert and has her doctorate in Ornithology. Throughout the show at the theater her obsession with all things birds led to many great shows ...one of which was a complete bird show (much like something you would see at a zoo) The reason for her being on starship sassafrass is that she is hunting for "Spirds" (space birds) which totally allude her and she never actually gets to see one even though at times they will pop up behind her for the audience to see...
She is also madly in love with Tom Selleck...lol... She used to have a line in our live show where she would talk about how handsome Gabby is... but note that he is "almost" as handsome as Tom Selleck... but still a bit less furry.
Dr T and Gabby are the only reoccuring characters from the puppet theater.... Gabby was always the star... a very important part of the show...and even had his face on the marquee sign... so we knew we had to have him along somehow...
We also had a Gabby puppet in the shows along with the big costumed guy you saw in the video
We even sold "hand puppets" of him in our gift shop
Ha ha!!! You've known her since kindergarten??!! Is she a member on MC?
I saw that, and looked at all of them. But, really, hand puppets for 20 dollars? Ah, who am I kidding? Muppet puppets are around 30, so they deserve to be that price.
No... shes not a puppeteer... and a very busy lady...lol
Wow... Wow... im really surprised at you saying that... Im assuming that youve never gotten a quote on production cost of things like this for a small business.... We had VERY minimal mark up on what we paid to have these created (after paying the sales tax which was included in the price we actually broke even)... but i wanted something the kids could enjoy and remember us by
Welp, never mind.I meant that those were basically as good as Muppet puppets, once I changed my mind about the puppets.
Wow!! When did your puppet theater close, and what year did it open? Sounds like a thing so popular that would've run for a long time...
