    Question about making puppets

    Buck-Beaver, Thanks for the links. I visited Nick Barone's site. I then purchased three of the books, including the one on playwriting for puppetry. I am a playwright and learning puppeteer. What a find! I found that some of the books were less expensive at www.abebooks.com. And the site...

    Help with Puppetry Stigma

    Wes, Thanks for the encouragement. We had our last dress rehearsal last night. We were finally able to focus on the puppet entrances and some of the puppetry. Everything else has been focused on the acting and dancing from the other performers. Going in with a more positive attitude helped...

    My latest puppet in the making!

    Eyes :crazy: Wow! Your puppet looks great! I was looking at your website. How do you make your puppet eyes look so glossy? The eyes are the feature I want to learn to develop more. Do you use a special sealant and/or type of craft eye? :confused:

    Help with Puppetry Stigma

    Thank you Thanks for the advice. I do not plan to quit. I know that would hurt me, reputation-wise. I might consider quitting a show but never follow through. I have requested a monitor and received a definite 'No'. So, I'm doing the best I can. I know puppeteering can be difficult. I do not...

    Help with Puppetry Stigma

    I am currently working on a show, The Arkansaw Bear. I designed and built the wishing star muppet-type puppet, Starbright. However, the director has this concept that I must puppeteer behind the flat. I can not begin to describe the physical pain and suffering it is to do what she is asking. I...

    Piggy in Flashdance

    Aaah. Classic '80s weirdness. I loved the '80s but not as much as the Muppets. This video was a great example/parody of the time. Personally, I think musicals made into films is generally uncouth. However, I loved Evita. But I understand Argentina was outraged by the leading lady choice and...

    Kermit on VegTV

    Go Kermie! It's difficult as it is to improvise as a live actor. Go Steve for stepping in and doing it as Kermie. Now that's talent! :)

    Puppet Up! Debuts on TBS.com

    I was introduced to Puppet Up! in my puppetry class a couple of quarters ago. However, I think it was in its infancy. I watched the linked clips. Hilarious! The show is a great example that puppets are not just for children. When I share my interest of puppetry with others they usually ask if...

    Big Bird and Oscar on "The Edge"

    That was so freakin' fun! I wished I was Jake at the time. My enthusiasm wouldn't have been canned. It would have been just-picked-from-the-vine fresh. I love Big Bird. But Oscar has always been my favorite.

    Kermit on VegTV

    All I could think about during the whole interview was that frogs eat flies. Good for Kermie for loving brussel sprouts (cuz I can't stand them). More for Kermie.
