Tabletop Puppetry Workshop
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Tabletop Puppetry Workshop
Today the puppeteers of Thistle Theatre gave a workshop on tabletop puppetry at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA.
We have been in Atlanta for most of the month of January presenting our show "Brother Coyote and Sister Fox," and today gave this workshop.
The workshop was also presented simultaneously as a webinar, which was recorded.
It should be possible for people who were not able to see the webinar today to view it in the future. Stay tuned to this blog to find out more about that.
During the workshop, Thistle's puppeteers demonstrated tabletop puppetry techniques and invited workshop participants to try their hands with Thistle's puppets.
Tabletop puppetry is a modified form of Bunraku, a Japanese puppetry form, but performed on a table (Bunraku is performed in mid-air, rather than on a solid surface).

It's the holiday season, and that means it's time for Thistle Theatre's holiday show. This year we present "The Gingerbread Boy" at various locations throughout the Seattle area.
Our story takes place in Candyland, where all the world's sweets are made. I play Sweetie, the candy cooker. She makes lollipops and gumdrops and cookie icing.
I also play Pepper Mint, the shipping coordinator of Candyland, who must chase down the naughty gingerbread boy when he steals the knob that controls all the sweet treats made in Candyland.
All voices and songs are performed live by me and fellow puppeteers Brian Stabile and Ben Burris. We use a variety of puppet styles including Japanese Bunraku-style and rod puppets to tell and sing this take on the traditional tale.
The script and songs were written by Jean Enticknap and Sue Ennis. Jean also directed this lively production.
This show is recommended for ages 3 and up.
The shows are at Sunset Hill Community Club in Ballard at 7:30 on the evening of November 30, and at 1 and 3 p.m. on December 1 and 2. The address is 3003 NW 66th Street.
Performances at Bellevue Youth Theatre are at 2 and 4 p.m. on December 15 and 16. That address is 16661 Northup Way, Bellevue, WA 98008

Mockingbird Lane
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Mockingbird Lane
NBC aired "Mockingbird Lane" Friday night.
The program, produced by "Pushing Daisies" creator Bryan Fuller, was intended to be a reboot and update to "The Munsters."
This version was far grittier than the original, meant to appeal to audiences who watch "Once Upon A Time," "True Blood," and "Grimm." In fact, "Mockingbird Lane" gave a modest ratings bump to the latter show.
"Mockingbird Lane" featured Jerry O'Connell as Herman, still constructed from other body parts, but with a less square head. The role was originated by Fred Gwynne.
Portia de Rossi played Lily, and Eddie Izzard was Grandpa.
The program was originally intended as a pilot for a new TV series. That series was never picked up, though there is speculation that if the ratings had been high enough, NBC would have ordered more episodes.
