"A Bridge to Fur" puppet show

My puppet show, "A Bridge to Fur", was born in a writing workshop with Muppet head writer, Jerry Juhl.  I wrote the show to combine two of my loves: history and being completely silly.  The silliness is built on a foundation of real historic research of the 1700's French voyageurs who traveled the upper Midwest.  There are three main characters- Jacques, Gaspar and the Beaver.  Gaspar is a rod puppet.  The other two are hand puppets in the Henson Muppet style.  I made all of the puppets, props and stage.  Anything that looks professionally sewn was done by my wife, Nancy.  I've performed this show all over the world... if your world is limited to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri.  I do the show solo and the audio live so I can interact with the audience.  Below are some photos of some of the show's characters and a performance at the 2010 Children's Festival in West Liberty Iowa.
