The thing is, I'm OK with Disney doing that. I mean it sounds horrible and mean (why pick on day care centers?) but that is not a parody, it's a commercial entreprise (or maybe a community organization) using copyrighted characters without permission. If Disney doesn't act to protect it's...

Puppets have actually been on Broadway (and especially off-Broadway) a lot over the years, I think it's just that everytime a "wave" like this happens the press starts to make a big deal of it. Not going to complain about it though...

Hi all! This may be too late already, but I just heard about this in a meeting today with some folks in NY...apparently Nickelodeon is looking for some puppeteers for an audition in NYC this Friday....if you are interested in auditioning you should email someone named Meghan over at Nick ASAP...

Actually, I've been working on it...just to lazy to grab all the photos off my digital camera and write the text. Got two more parts of it to go....

Hey Pdbooch, those puppets are nice. I especially like the Audrey II. Did you make a whole set, or just the one?

Welcome to the forum tinfoilspider! You may want to contact the British Puppet & Model Theatre guild. They are the leading puppetry organization in the UK I believe and you could probably network with others through them. There are tons of puppetry resources in England, but you have to know...

Well, I think it is good that they followed the FTC guidelines. That said, I think it's a questionable decision for Sesame Workshop to align itself with a junk food company. I'd say the same if the show was sponsored by Snickers, Hostess Potato Chips or something else along those lines. Even if...

I think this has already been mentioned by others elsewhere in the forum, but the main theatre for this event has been sold out. There are still tickets available for the closed circuit room, where you can watch a live video feed of the event in another theatre at the museum. Tickets for the...

There are hot tubs?? Why am I always the last to know?! :p Welcome to MC Dpuppets! I've seen your site and your great puppets before. Always thought they were a little "Pannabecker-ish" and know I know why! I've got a puppet building project that I am doing online at...

Wow, been in Times Square just an hour or so and it's like puppet central! Little Shop & Avenue Q everywhere! Here's an article I found in Playbill: Little Shop's Audrey II Named Grand Marshall of Greenwich Village Halloween Parade By Robert Simonson Greenwich Village's famed...

Hey, I am in NYC right now so I am going to try and head over there tomorrow afternoon and pick some up.....someone told me they will do a certain amount of walk-in business. I let `ya know what I find.

I heard that too, apparently anyone who didn't get tickets yet can still get in to a separate room where they will run a live closed-circuit video feed.

I tried to load this over a dial-up connection...my computer exploded! :eek: No seriously, the Fozzie Wallpaper must be huge...what file type is it? BMP? Maybe it can be knocked down to 256 colours and saved as a GIF. Or a compressed JPEG. Just a thought. Kudos for setting up a site...

This is from the PofA bulletin board: I am currently looking for a puppeteer/puppet maker who is located in the S. Florida area. One of my clients is hosting a Christmas party and is in desperate need of your services. Any inquiries or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

I think some others already kind of answered this, but no they don't need permission. You can do a parody of trademarked characters, but it has to be clear to the audience you are doing a parody. SNL cannot lead its audience to believe they have the real Kermit on, creating confusion. Since SNL...

A Bunraku puppet troupe is coming to Utah with performances in Salt Lake and Provoto I believe. If you live in the area you should check it out, I believe the second performance is free....here's an article about it from the Salt Lake Tribune: Artful Japanese puppetry coming to Utah...

That looks great so far! Say Paul, are you going to go see Lion King?

I bet there are Justin Timberlake fans (he has what, like twelve? :p) who would take as much offense to your comment as you took to the SNL sketch Dilbertos. I'm with Erin, SNL makes fun of everybody. The Muppets shouldn't be a sacred cow.

Looks like this might be interesting for anyone in Philly & the surrounding area. From www.renaissanceartist.com: Cetacean, From Sea to Land and Beyond The story of the Toothed Whale's evolution This production was researched and developed by Renaissance Artist Puppet Company as part of...

This is from http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/10/11/1065676215665.html Mane attraction By Michael October 12, 2003 Anything is possible in theatre, which is why it is not that surprising to see an elephant sashaying up the aisle, guided by a platoon of pachyderm-wranglers, or...
