I've been thinking lately about an idea for a CD that the Jim Henson Legacy could produce as a tribute for Jim Henson. Most of us know that in 1991, Sesame Street released a music CD for Jim celebrating the songs of his characters from that show. However, I think it will be a cool idea if the...

Hi, Recently I have begun work on creating my own puppet shows for family audiences. While I know that the answer to the question often varies, I am curious as to what the best charge is for pricing puppet shows for events. Parties, schools, libraries, churches, etc. Thanks a lot.

Hi Everybody, I wasn't quite sure where to put this article at in the puppetry section so I chose this instead. Last summer I had the honor of attending the National Puppetry Festival at UCONN and spent some time at the Ballard Institute going through there museum as well as their extensive...

Hi, As of right now I am on the verge of setting up my own puppet shows for family audiences and I am trying to find some good scripts to help get me started. Basically what I am looking for are some short skits that can be useful for both children and adults. Nothing to cheap or corny with no...

I just found this on YouTube yesterday. Besides performing Big Bird and Oscar, Caroll Spinney also gives puppet shows for families. From what I also understand, Caroll still uses the same puppets his mother made for him when he first got started in puppetry. It just goes to show how versatile...
