What it Is

Welcome to the online development log for the The Puppeteers, an original comedy by the contemporary commedia dell'arte troupe Zuppa del Giorno. Here you will find lots of research, disjointed rambling and spit-balling, all of which has led to the creation of a show.
Want to book it?
The Puppeteers are available for mid-size venues, with sufficient time to remount! It's a show that can be customized to any area, any audience. Simply contact director Jeff Wills on email!

1. Grover first made his TV debut on the "Ed Sullivan Show" in 1967 when he was known as "Gleep" and was a monster in Santa's Workshop?

2. Telly Monster was originally the Television Monster when he debuted in 1979. He was obsessed with TV and his eyes would whirl around as if hypnotized whenever he was in front of a set. After a while, producers started worrying about his influence on youngsters, so they changed him to make him the chronic worrier he is now.

3. Miss Piggy is apparently from Iowa.

4. Gonzo was raised by chickens.

    Hums, scratches head.

    I'm going to guess the Gonzo thing is the fake. It could so easily be true...but the Oedipus overtones completely freak me out.
