Puppet Tears, ep 050 — Jim Kroupa Returns part Duh!

#JimKroupa #Helpsters #Mechanisms

Back for a THIRD time to help us celebrate two years and 50 episodes of Puppet Tears, we have the one and only Jim Kroupa! Jim is a life-long puppet artist, best known for his mastery of puppet mechanics, performing Batley on Eureeka's Castle, and designing and/or building characters for iconic TV programs like Whimzy's House, Between the Lions, and The Book of Pooh. Most recently, he can be found performing in Sesame Workshop's Helpsters on Apple TV+.

We catch up on some of his latest projects, including an inside look (literally) at his ever-growing cast of puppets for The Howdy Doo Show: Part Duh originally scheduled to premiere at the 30th National Puppetry Conference at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center. Jim will provide new insights into his expansive career in puppetry and how he keeps things fresh, even when re-building characters with a 50+ year legacy. PLUS: We also get to have him share another classic Puppet Tear story he hasn't told on the show yet ... this time involving a penguin directed by Frank Oz.
