    Trained. My singing teacher taught me: "First you learn a song. Then you sing a song. Then you perform a song."

    Noel MacNeal's creating a show for kids of autism & special needs

    The campaign ended this past Tuesday, April 28. Here's what I wrote on THE SHOW ME SHOW Facebook page: The glass isn't half empty; it's 27% full smile emoticon I want to truly, utterly, and completely thank EVERYONE OF YOU who donated and/or shared the campaign for THE SHOW ME SHOW! I am...

    Right now the plan is have it downloadable (with the proceeds going back towards more production) and have highlights/songs clips available to help promote the show.

    Question about Ursa

    Ursa wasn't mentioned (as far as I can remember) in season 4. We concentrated on the overall theme of "community." And, yes, Bear and Ursa were (special) "friends."

    Muppeteer Noel MacNeal writes puppet making book for young and old

    Yes, Phillip she did. I am both honored and not surprised she's the first. But Fran is a "lady," in the classic sense. She was the first to RSVP to our wedding; the first to send us a wedding gift; the first to send a thank you note for coming; and the first Muppet performer to send me quotes...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    It's complicated but I can say this: 1.) Whoopi had nothing to do with the demise and 2.) Disney completely supported the show and even came up with the spin-off, "Breakfast With Bear." I'm very proud of the work Bear and I did and of everyone who helped make this show such a legacy in...

    Muppeteer Noel MacNeal writes puppet making book for young and old

    Hi folks! Hope you are all getting to enjoy the holiday season (and staying warm). Being a puppeteer and a dad (of a 5 yr old) I wrote a book of easy puppets kids and their adults can do together called, "10 Mintue Puppets." It has the step-by-steps to making all kinds of simple puppets...

    Reports of my demise (and the show's) have been greatly exaggerated. Happy holidays. Noel MacNeal
