Look up Audition information for "Finding Nemo" - a live stage/puppet show at Disney's Wild animal kingdom. One of the writers of Avenue Q, Bobby Lopez, and his wife, re-wrote the CGI animated Pixar/Disney movie and turned it into a musical. They are currently auditioning puppeteers (or...

Also careful that the fabric dyes from the puppet don't release on to your sweaty arms. Also, after a long, sweaty performance with your puppet, sue a fan or a blow-dryer on the cold setting to dry out the insides of the puppet so that they don't get clammy, moldy, or start to rot or...

I know of two guys that made it and are now there rehearsing for Miss Piggy and Gonzo. They are great performers and deserve the amazing opportunity. I'll keep trying. All I really need is a sex change and a deeper voice. Nah, I enjoy being a girl!

No Peep Holes At Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, CA, in the show Playhouse Disney Live on Stage, I performed as Bear from BBBH. Two cameras were wired into Bears eyes, and over my head inside of Bear, I watched on a goggle-mounted monitor system, and could "see through Bears eyes."...

I got a letter. Wow, they even sent letters to those they didn't hire. That's impressive, sweet, and considerate. I wish all auditioners did that. Terry, I left the Toronto Audition right before you stoped by. I wish I could have met you. Love'd you puppets.

I totally forgot about neoprene! Thank you so much! I love the stuff. HOwever, I can not find a place that sells it by the yard. My husband and I were going to use it for a project but couldn't find the material in bulk. Do you know your factory's resource? That would be awesome! And...

Antron fleece is also known as "muppet fleece." It's the fabric out of which many muppet characters are made: Kermit, Miss Piqqy, ect. It's just a particular type of fleece that dyes well, had good stretch, and many use for puppet skin. Now you know. And that's half the battle.

Thanks for the info. Teddy rocked my 80's childhood. It was the expensive toy that all my friends had, so I just played with my fraggles.

The Puppet Sebastian This Puppet lives in Bufflo, NY, and is incredibe. I met him at the Toronto Muppet audition. He looks like an old, wise, fraggle, :smirk: and has pin-ticks forming age lines across his face. They look amazing. They may not be on seam lines but they add so much...

Check out the site through the Quinney's thread (I'm not allowed to post the link yet) because his puppets have the flexible mouths that you are looking for. Dense foam like "Foamies" would work well also. I have been meaning to try that. I'll let you know how it works.

I am so sorry about your puppet. I hope the RAT DIES! Flexible mouth pieces are incredible and can be made from a number of different materials... you know those plastic 5 galon ice cream tubs? The flexible lids make good mouth plates. An expert told me that maliable muppet mouths are made...

Blast from the past! Thank you so much for the link! You made my evening at work go by so much quicker!

Are the seams in the fleece machine sewn? Can you turn the puppet's body inside out to do internal repairs?

Hey Dwo shwoom I am trying to imagine the lizard's head shape and where the eyes should be positioned. The most important thing is eye focus and creating the "triangle" with the nose, if you have a nose. Placing the eyes on level with the top knuckels of your palm will make the lizards eye...

I get to perform improv with a very sexy puppet. The moment adults look at the female puppet character, they know it's not entertainment geared toward their children. I keep the interaction clean with humor based on inuendos and it's incredible to see the audiences reactions. Adults see it as...

Hi Wes!

Hi! This is my first Post but I have been reading and enjoying Muppet Central for a long time. I am a puppeteer currently working for Avenue Q in Las Vegas, performed for Disney in California, and Toured with Bear In the Big Blue House. In my spare time I also build puppets, sing, dance and...
