Welcome to this week’s edition of The MuppetCast! I’m away from the studio this weekend (visiting Atlanta once again), but in my absence I’m proud to feature a conversation with Heather Henson from the Center for Puppetry Arts. We discuss Heather’s history with the Center, as well as her company Ibex, and what she’s generally up to these days.
Also featured is the out-of-print recording “Big Bird Meets The Orchestra“.
Special announcement: MuppetCast discounts now in effect at the Center for Puppetry Arts! Mention that you’re a MuppetCast listener and recieve 25% off of normal full-price tickets, and receive $10 off your purchase of a Center membership!
Thanks to our sponsors, Orlando Attractions Magazine and Bell, Book & Comic! Are YOU going to be at the Mid-Ohio Comic Con in October? Let me know and we’ll meet up!
The New York Times recently ran a story concerning the Walt Disney Company, and its future plans for the Muppets. Instead of the “slow and steady” approach our beloved characters have received in the past, they’re about to get the Hannah Montana treatment, and be blasted into every media outlet you can imagine!
Thanks to Phillip for this week’s Muppet Montage, consisting of 3 songs from the upcoming Sesame Street DVD “Abby in Wonderland“. Pick up your copy starting September 30.
