I am not 100% sure on the actual rate structure but here is an overview for ACTRA performers: ACTRA Rate Card I am sure there are loop holes and ways to play with rates etc. But overall you are probably looking at anywahere from $600.00 - $1,200.00 per day, for a principal performer...

If you are looking for a non-paying gig (volunteers) you could try The Ontario Puppetry Association. I think you will be hard pressed to find many professional puppeteers who are willing or able to work on a volunteer basis (or at least below ACTRA rates). Especially now because it is...

Hey Coco Ladybug, Thanks about the contest, I appreciated the vote. Yes, it is a big job, but not impossible. Perhpas one of the things you can do is hire someone (or two) who work on the dying only. It can save you the learning time. You can actually learn alot from watching them as well...

Sorry. That should read Verna Finley. It sold for a pretty good price, in Ebay terms.

I say figure out your material costs and then figure out how many hours it would to build the puppets. Decide on an hourly rate and charge accordingly. If you normally charge $1000.00, decide how long it would take you to build one of those puppets. If there is a design that would take more...

I think that with the use of green screen, there is the option of having another puppeteer operate the other arm. Even with a full body puppet like the sloth. I didn't know they had another full body puppet (turtle). I just looked up the characters, if you mean Madge, I always thought she...

For all you collectors out there here is a Virna Finley puppet that has only 1 hr left. You can find it here on Ebay. I didn't know who she was until I did a little web search: Who is she and why are people willing to pay so much for her puppet? Read about Virna Finley here.

Hey Trekkie Monster, I believe you are correct that the show is done with green screen. Remember that television is a lot different than a live performance or non green screen shoot. Depending on the shot, they could have easily had three puppeteers operating the puppet from...

Hey Wayne, To be honest I have no idea if Elmo's arms are filled or not. I am sure there are lots of people who do know. What I have to say is "just do what looks good". I would use polyfill if I were you, but very conservatively. And a few words of caution. Do not over...

Hi Kathy! Remember that it is fleece from Georgia Stage up there as well! Thanks for the kind words.

I saw it too. It looked super! Great job to you and Kevin.

Hey SurfPark, Aside from a simple "sock type" puppet like the Blue Boy pattern, I would say that if you want a foam puppet, Project Puppet patterns are some of the easiest puppets to build. In fact I am working with elementary school children (ages 7 - 10) using the patterns (yes Project...

Hey SurfPark, Thanks. Yah, I liked Miss Greta Green's character as well. I plan on building as much as I can. Thank you very much bezalel. It is all very exciting. P.S. Thanks seanomalley. You help to make it happen with your vote. It was very much appreciated.

Although they were at the Toronto auditions, these two happened to be American, as were a great number of performers at the audition. But still...Go Canadians...err...Go Leafs!

Were those two guys at the Toronto audition? There were some amazing performers/voice actors there.

Hi Camellia, I am just curious. Do you mean to say that you actually have a Muppet puppet, or just like the ones from the store. Or are you talking about a style? The word "Muppet" can mean different things to different people. I am a collector as well. I choose to collect puppets...

The Results Are In! Well the voting is complete. And the final results are in. AVENUE Q CONTEST Thanks to all those who voted. Cheers.

No worries. I hope you get the answers you are looking for.

Hi video567, There is a link to the builder's website under the picture. On the website there is the contact button with all of the information. Sometimes information is closer tahn we think. Here is the contact info that I saw on the website. Call Michele in St. Petersburg, FL between...

No problem wes. How criptic...and what an evil laugh. I look forward to seeing the results of your puppet building. I am working on a Chewbacca puppet and I have used FIMO for the nose. It looks pretty good. Thanks whatadoodle! Like I said before, with more time I could have made the puppet...
