    Offensive newspaper jab at puppeteers

    Thanks for your replies. As a parent of two young children, and as a puppeteer who performs for children and their families, this clown's "humor" really ticked me off. Did he reply? Apologize to the puppet community? Of course not.

    New Video: The Muppets Face One Big Problem

    I agree. I am not jumping out of my seat when I see the trailer. I honestly wish I was, but somehow I am just not "feeling the magic".

    Audio suggestions for live puppet show

    Thanks for the suggestions Chris. The gear you listed is a bit out of my budget right now. I only play out 1 - 3 times a month, and have less than $500 in my budget to purchase the equipment.

    Audio suggestions for live puppet show

    Thanks for the suggestions Chris. The Yamaha gear is a bit out of my budget right now. I only play out about 1-3 times a month, and have less than $500 to spend. What sort of venues do you perform at?

    Animal Head Costume.

    Thanks for the kind words Nathan. The new Coleman will look more "Sasquatchy", a few children in the audience have called him a hairy worm thing. The next puppet character that I plan to build will be Coleman's cousin Snavely from Pennsylvania.

    Audio suggestions for live puppet show

    Hello, I am a solo puppeteer who's show has (finally) started to roll. Most of the places I perform have been at farmer's markets, art fairs, and coffee shops. I have found that I am not louder than a firetruck, and will eventually burn out my vocal chords trying to be heard over street/park...

    Animal Head Costume.

    Thanks. It may be hard to believe, yet that puppet is over 30 years old. I bought it at a fun fair around 1976-77. The mouthplate is cardboard, and is wearing away. I plan to rebuild Coleman over the Winter and have made a few sketches.
