Show #75 – September 14, 2008
Welcome to The MuppetCast! Even though I’m not here in the studio, there’s still a great episode on tap for this week! I’m joined by a very special guest, Vince Anthony. Vince is the Executive Director of the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta which, coincidentally, is where I am this weekend! Vince talks about the exciting events taking place during the Center’s 30th anniversary celebration. This particular weekend is for members of the Center only (which still includes a large number of people), and then the Center is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday every week. Make sure to stop by if you’re in the area, and see their amazing new exhibit “Jim Henson: Wonders from his Workshop”. (more…)
