Here Is The Report!!! Audition Report – “Playhouse Disney – Live Onstage!” at Disneyland AT LONG LAST! For the two or three of you out there who care ( :p ), here is a summary of what the audition process was like at Disneyland. I should say a couple of things right off the bat...

Sounds like a plan! --Scraps

Scraps Flippy here - Last night I went through the ENTIRE audition process for "Playhouse Disney - LIVE!" at the Disneyland Resort, and as promised on an earlier thread, I will be posting my experience for anyone who is curious how these things are done at Disney. Hopefully, this will help...

Wow! Sounds absolutely magical! Don't think I'll be able to make the trip up to see it, but if anyone does, PLEASE post a review here! -Scraps

I am planning on attending the open audition Disney is holding for puppeteers for Playhouse Disney - Live Onstage. Any information or experience anyone has with Disney's audition process, what they look for, etc. would be much appreciated. I was inspired by JeremyActor's experience shadowing...

Ahhhhhhhh. Got it. So to put it in Muppet terms, on Rowlf Jim Henson would have been the "lead puppeteer," and whoever operated the left hand would have just been credited "puppeteer." A random penguin or monster passing through the frame but not assigned any specific lines or business would...

Fozzie - Thanks! Regrettably, I have no video of any of my performances (well, except for my baby sister's first birthday party, but I wouldn't really want anyone to see that!) I have found the negatives of a bunch of picture I took of twenty or so puppets I designed for the above...

Thanks very much, Buck Beaver! One question though: If one of the puppets was atmospheric, no speaking etc., is that still considered lead? (For a children's play, I performed a bird rod-puppet who flew along with three live actors, to help create the illusion that they were flying.) I...

Hi-ho! Does anyone know the correct format for a puppeteering resume? I know how to do one for acting. --Scraps

Sounds like a great contest! I may just have to throw my hat into the ring. The last puppet I built was some five years ago. Way too long ago. Even my wife is noticing the longing look on my face whenever I pass a fabric shop. She took me down to the Fashion District in L.A. a couple of...

Well Fishbone, sounds like you didn't have a very good audition experience! But . . . thanks for the heads up on what they want to see! And since you know the process, maybe you can be more prepared for the next audition. So it's not all "half-empty." Half-full! Half-full! In fact - Is...

Buck Beaver - Thank you very much! I did quite a bit of work with puppets in my teens and in college. I've been hearing the "call of the wild" lately. So I'll be joining the guild. I think it's time to get back in the game, so to speak. - Scraps

Ha ha! (which reminds me, speaking of tickling, I saw a street performer in a full-body Elmo suit on Hollywood Blvd yesterday, surrounded by kids. Now there's a dream job!) Great site, Puppet planet! Your puppets have great, expressive eyes - great work! --Scraps

WOW! Where do you find these job Ops? I live ni Hollywood, and I scan the local entertainment trade for performers (Back Stage West) but hardly ever see anything! --Scraps

Oh my goodness! The above post got me to thinking. Just imagine . . . if JHP tapped a couple of "The Simpsons" writers. Talk about the show to end all shows! (BTW, I'm new here. I just recently found this site, and it's the coolest! And I just had to throw my two cents in!) -Scraps
