We recently visited the Center for Puppetry Arts in downtown Atlanta. It’s been forever since I’ve been there, even though I am so into puppet ministry and have directed teams for years and years.
It was really fun, professional and something I want to go to again, soon! We saw “Winnie-the-Pooh”which was done with a dark [...]

I’ve been at the Indianapolis Puppet Festival for the last couple of days. It was a good weekend of sharing, teaching and inspiration- rubbing shoulders with people who are serving God with creative means mostly with puppets. I judged two competitions, taught three workshops, helped to close the conference with a devotional thought and prayer [...]

Tonight was our second week of practice. You can tell these are little girls! We have six 5th and 6th graders and one 9th grader (don’t ask!) Here are a couple of photos from the first practice. Seasoned puppeteers- you can see we made “eyeballs” for practice. We’ve used them, as well as real puppets both weeks- and Julie [...]
Oh my goodness.

Whew, I just got back from Mobile, AL. I was teaching and working at a one-day puppetry event, Summerfest, which One Way Street hosts during the summer only (good name!) For those of you who know the puppet festival format, there are a few differences. Like I said, it’s Saturday only instead of Friday night [...]

1987!
On television, it was the end of some TV shows: Dance Fever, The A Team, Remington Steele, Fraggle Rock and Welcome to Pooh Corner all went off the air in 1987. Oh well.
On the other hand, TV exec’s had some new shows to introduce in 1987: TeenAge Mutant Ninja Turtles, Colby’s Clubhouse and Ducktales were some of them.
But most notably, [...]

I love traveling in the Midwest. I just love the wide open spaces, the farmland and the prairies. I think it’s really pretty and it’s also very soothing to me. Something about being able to see so far. Here are just a couple of shots around Bourbonnais where I-Fest was held:
I noticed some very interesting church and [...]

I-Fest is just fabulous- really. The chapel services were inspiring, the evening programs ranged from hilarious to moving to just plain fun. I felt like the workshops I taught, for the most part, connected with the folks attending them. Here’s what I taught:
Drama and Puppetry Together I talk about simple drama basics and terminology. Then we watch [...]
