Museum of Moving Image brings The Jim Henson Exhibition to MoPop, beginning with Celebrational Puppetational! tonight, Friday May 19th. The opening night for the exhibit will include a fashion parade, puppet making workshops, a 7:15 PM performance of “Rainbow Connection” by local artists Jason Dodson of the Maldives and Jon Pontrello of the Moondoggies (don’t miss that), and – this is also special –
talks by Muppets puppeteer, Dave Goelz and Muppets/Sesame Street puppeteer Karen Prell. There will be Jim Henson puppets in the exhibit, plus photos and costumes! Celebrational Puppetational! is open to all ages, with, I am guessing, special Muppets-based cocktails in the restaurant.
Karate Chop!
Tickets & details are right over here.
And, before I forget, Campout Cinema: The Muppet Movie happens at MoPOP this Sunday, May 21st at 6:45 PM. See the 1979 film with fellow Muppets fans.
