What are you doing at PBS?
Well, in Augusts and Marches, I volunteer down at PBS, for their "Friends of Sesame Street" pledge drives. Myself, and another person perform the puppets that interact with human characters, and spread the word to join the club, and support public TV. One week in August, and two weeks in March.

BTW, anyone have updates on this? Where/When they are auditioning and what the procedures are? Thanks.

I called the number and listened to the message. It seems as if it'll be some sort of traveling company of "classic Muppets" it said one of the thing they are looking for is how well you can mimic classic muppet characters and improvisation skills."

I left my name for more info.

I'll let you know if they call back.
Yep i sure did, I aslo called and listed the names of the Muppets I can do and that I have been Puppteering for the last 5 or 6 years!!! Yooo Hoooo HOPE i get it, or any of us! :big_grin: :smile: :excited:

I've been puppeteering for a little over a year and I don't think my voice is close to any of the Muppets. But I bet If I tried hard enough I could do Rowlf or maybe Sweetums.

This is very exciting news. :excited: I'm not very experienced at puppeteering, but I can imitate voices quite well. Good luck for anyone who might be trying out for the auditions.
