As a little incentive to visit our puppetry troupe’s new website, here is the first of our puppet videos :
The Hardware Store. – A hardware store clerk meets a very persistent customer.
Enjoy.
Sorry for the lapse in blog postings during the last couple of weeks. Blogging is but one of my time-wasting endeavors. As many of you know, another is Puppetry.
My cousin Rus Wilson, his wife Kelly, my close friend Sean Healy, my wife Chastity, and I founded the Maxed Out Puppetry – Puppet Comedy Troupe nearly a decade ago while still students and recent graduates of Brigham Young University. Since then we have performed at museums, libraries, festivals, parties, churches, and many other venues, primarily in Utah County, but also as far north as the Davis County Library in Layton and as far south as Filmore.
Since then we have been joined by additional puppeteers: Caitlin Shirts, Patrick Svensson, and David Wilson.
We are very excited to present our brand-spanking-new website:
I have been performing puppetry with my troupe, Maxed Out Puppetry, for about eight years now. We perform fairly frequently at various venues in Utah county, and periodically in the Salt Lake valley. This Friday, September 1st, we will be performing for at the acclaimed Timpanogos Storytelling Festival at 5:30pm for about 45 minutes.
In order to help those interested, I’ve added an embedded Google Calendar to the blog sidebar on the right that displays upcoming events where I will be performing with my troupe.
I helped found the Maxed Out Puppet Comedy Troupe about seven years ago, and have been performing puppetry ever since. We performed two holiday shows on Saturday, and another one last night.
It is always fun to see what other people come up with in the realm of puppetry. Sometimes real people can be used as puppets.
