Ok, so I thought, well, best way to find out if that's the place to send it is to call the number, right? Found out, that's not the place to send it ;) The woman who answered said that audition tapes should be sent to Sesame Workshop Attention: Casting 1 Lincoln Plaza NY, NY 10023...

Thanks guys! Onath, I think seeing your zombie inspired me to finally make her. We can have a whole zombie army. An army of adorable zombies!

So I've been wanting to make a zombie for a while now. I've been making lots of puppets this week for an upcoming gallery show I'm doing & for a bookstore in Seattle as well. So tonight I took a break for myself. She'll probably end up going to the gallery. While she's not the greatest puppet in...

This site looks fun! http://www.starlight.com/index.html This one might be all-around useful... http://www.fxsupply.com/ (looks like they have resin, latex & silicon mold kits)

oh there are also cans of smoke if you need them.

Comparing Skype (I use it fairly regularly to talk with my brother in Australia) with the program I used, the lip synch wasn't too bad. Granted, it wasn't perfect, but the picture was clear, and I think an audience would be mindful that this would be an experiment in theater. Especially after I...

High quality video chat programs are sweeping the nation. Ok maybe not so much, but they do lend themselves to remote performances around the country. I know I've talked about it in the past with Buck Beaver, & would like to open up the conversation to everyone to get different ideas &...

Right. I mean..yeah...don't turn off smoke detectors & always be safe. *ahem*

I loved hearing the people saying "oh that was so cool" after they clearly had walked away. Well done!

You might want to go to a magic shop in town. I know that's where our director gets all of her flash papers and things like that.

What about dressmakers chalk for marking it? I have NO idea regarding the black vs white foam, since ive never tried the black. I know the white is nice because if you want to add color to it, its easier to do on a lighter background than it is on a darker one. but if you're going to cover...

Oh Congrats onath! Slams are fun. :) We just had ours last Friday & Saturday night & it was a hoot.

We had a guy come to our theater, I'll find out his name. He's a 5th or 6th generation puppeteer from China. This guy had puppets (hand/glove puppets) jump up in the air, off of his hand, do a flip & then smoothly come back into a sword fight. He also had hand puppets that would pick up a bow...

What is the marionette a figure of? Or, if you don't like ending sentences with prepositions, Of what figure is your marionette? I'm really trying to get myself mentally prepared to attempt a few cloth marionettes. I teach a scarf marionette in the after-school program I teach & just need to...

I'm sure there is a formula. I don't know it. I usually just kind-of hold the puppet's nose up to my nose and imagine that we're having a staring contest. I then mark those spots and put the pupils there. If it looks like it's a bit too cross-eyed, I usually know I've done it right. All very...

You mean if 20,000 people look at my blog, I won't make any money? drat ;)

I was *just* going to say the focus of the puppets should maybe be a little toward the nose & slightly cross-eyed. I didn't realize that was the "magic triangle" Also, are those rubber stamps in a bin behind the bunny? *sigh* I love the puppy!

Well you should.... (goes into recruiting mode...And if this is inappropriate here, please, please someone move it and then others may tell me how absolutely terrible I am.) *Ahem* I was asked to pass this along to any web-savvy puppeteers who might be interested (and you don't really have to...
