    Fraggle Rock Shirts

    Just saw some FR shirts at my local mall in Springfield, VA. Unfortuneately, it seemed they were only in child sizes, and I don't know the name of the designer/fad store. Can find out if interested. Danny

    Puppet Protest/C. Henson in Wash. Post

    I don't mean to offend anyone, but as we prepare for war it seems appropriate to share this article in today's Washington Post Style section, quoting Cheryl Henson and several of my friends. The article is "Borne in Effigy-If Protest Is Theatre, Its Biggest Actors Are Puppets" and "Puppets On...

    Kermit at Smithsonian

    I live in the DC area. If Kermit was on display between '96-'99 I'm sure I would have seen him. Visited regularly during that time as I do now. You may know he was featured in a poster "Puppets With Strings and Things" with Charlie and Howdy back in 1980, coinciding with the "Puppets: Art and...

    Kermit at Smithsonian

    A photo of Kermit the Frog appears on the web site of Smithsonian.org, the Smithsonian Institution Museum of American History in Washington DC. It's on the History Wired (and main) page. To my knowledge, the actual Kermit puppet has not been shown at the museum since the World Puppetry Fest. of...

    Disney Job Update

    Just spoke to three top Ent. people at Disney (including Jeff Conover who wrote the Journal ads) via conference call. While they did agree to exempt me from the character portion of the job it seemed they emphasized the aspects of the job's essential functions that I can't do (as required by the...

    Disney Job Discrimination

    Disney Job Discimination? I talked to someone at Disney employee relations (complience). She said being in costume IS Disney policy, and they DON'T hire puppeteers. Why then did two Puppetry Journal articles ask for puppeteers? She said she'll investigate hiring and advertising policy. Danny...

    Disney Job Discrimination

    Disney Job Discrimination? You can't tell me it takes the same skill to be a costume character (Santa Clause or Mickey Mouse) as it does to be a puppeteer. On another subject, I was once told by a Muppeteer friend (who I won't name) that Disney wanted to replace Frank Oz as Miss Piggy! That...
