We are planning on going to at least one of the sessions of the Orlando Puppet Festival on Saturday. It’s a celebration of puppet art (apparently, Orlando is a center for puppet artists, thanks to Disney). Among the producers is Jim Henson’s daughter, Heather.
Besides live puppet shows, they have been screening movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal and a new silent horror puppet film, “Harker”. Plus, there is a retrospective of the work of Jerry Juhl, the Muppet writer who died in September.
Quick, send me a ticket, I’m so there for this!
