This is just my opinion, but from what I've seen pepe seems to be the Elmo of the Classic Muppets. He's taken a little more limelight than a shrimp, er... king prawn should have, and kicked other characters out of theirs. Why isn't Rizzo being considered for the role of Todo? Is Rizzo even in...

When I was 10 and first discovered puppetry I went all out and mass-produced characters; that gave me a lot of experience and taught me a lot in the area of building puppets, but I really had no idea how to create a character. So about 3 years ago it struck me that it was probably important to...

Wow... I was just watching the Sesame Gang medley and for the first time I realized what Big Bird actually says at the end of it. When they're all done singing, BB says, "That was fun! I love carols [aka Carrolls! HA HA HA!]" I'd never noticed that and thought it was purely hilarious!

Helena. (Sorry... I'm a bit obsessive/compulsive...)

Thanks for all your info, guys!

Yeah that is pretty good for an hour long show, but I take into account writing the play, rehearsing it, building puppets and props, building the puppets, lugging my huge stage around... that sort of thing. I guess the library's standards are pretty concrete, but was that payment for only the...

Helloooooooo! Giving prices for shows has always been a sore spot for me -- usually cause I don't know the employer's budget well enough to balance it with mine. So I thought I'd throw this question out to all of you who perform for payment: How do you go about charging? Do you have...

Strangely enough, my local Target was the first place I ever bought a Muppet video -- "More Muppets, Please!". The store that should REALLY be boycotted (or at least spoken to on the subject) is Hollywood Video -- they put Muppet films in the "childrens'" section! (This should in no way...

In the summer of 2000 I had the privilege of visiting the Townhouse, as my dad recounts, "Barging in like the tourists we were with cameras blazing". So as the gracious secretary can testify, I've got a buch of shots of the lobby that I'd be willing to post (if that's not illegal or anything)...

Heya, Just outa curiousity, I wondered... where's the strangest place you've ever performed a puppet show? This summer I did a show at a women's prison for a carnival they had for inmates children. I couldn't imagine anything odder, but I'm sure they're out there...

Hey guys! Check out this link I just found randomly: http://www.vatsaas.org/rtv/misc/GHS2002/bertrace/bertrace.aspx Ka-raaaaaaaazay! :( :)

Well, whenever there's something I can't use stitching to attatch to a puppet, I always resort to contact cement. If you use too much of it it'll obviously still soak through the material like the super glue, but a reasonably light coating does just the trick. Sometimes I also use spray-on...

I remember that! And Larry really wanted to meet Muley but we went to the wrong DoubleTree by mistake! I'm still bitter over that. Well, as they said in TGMC, "That was terrible" "Well, we'll just have to do it again" ... one of these days...

Usually it's hard to tell in my pictures because he's usually performing and the lights cause his brows to cast a shadow over his eyes. But I zoomed in on his eyes on the special feature interview on my MTM DVD and had my sister (who isn't partially color blind like I am) confirm that they look...

Whata perfect shot! Thanks!

It's strange for me to watch home videos of myself as a little kid putting on paper bag puppet shows for my Gramma. I had no idea I'd be this interested in it now. I was about five in those videos, and I really got interested in the Muppets at age 10 when I went to my grandparents' house and...

Heya, Does anyone know where I can find a picture of Marvin Suggs' singing vegetables online? Thanks for your help!

Cool! Be sure tyo let us know how your project turns out.

Hey, I just decided to post this link to a huge free sound effects site for anyone else who's into editing video. I've found a lot of great little cartoonish accents that really accentuate my performances. www.sounddogs.com Hope you find this helpful. Not many people I know know about it...

I admit, hand/rod and live-hand puppetry works like none other for me too. I think it's part of my surrealist bent -- they can be visually as unnatural as you like, but dramatically believeable. Somehow, while I can appreciate the representation of a puppet that has no mouth movement...
