Jim Henson's City Critters

On Saturday I attended Comic-Con. Believe it or not it was my first time - I had a blast. I'll be posting some of my photos soon. In the mean time I've just uploaded some photos of of Jim Henson's City Critters toys to my Flickr site. Enjoy!

Seattle Children's Theater Puppet Workshop

This is Doug's puppet workshop back stage at the Seattle Children's Theater. He has a nice corner carved out for himself in the large scene shop. Doug has designed, built, directed and performed puppets for various Seattle Children's Theater productions including: Winnie-the-Pooh, Bunnicula, The Big Friendly Giant, The Odyssey, The Lion Which and the Wardrobe, and more.

To learn more about Doug and see samples of his work check out his website.

Seattle Children's Theater

During my trip to Seattle, puppet designer and graphic designer Elizabeth Luce arranged a tour of the Seattle Children's Theater - many of their productions include puppets. We met up with Doug Paasch, their head puppeteer and he gave us a peek backstage.

From left to right: Me, Elizabeth Luce, Doug Paasch, and Victoria Johnson backstage at the Seattle Children's Theater.

P.S. Please note Elizabeth's cool Tiger and Mousedeer sweatshirt available at the Swazzle Store.

The Pea Gees

Check out the new "Pea Gees" card from PuppetGreetings.com - it's super! I made the peas - puppeteers Victor Yerrid, Carol Binion and Michelan Sisti performed them. Send it to all your friends.
