On Friday, July 21, 2023, I was honored to be asked to host a post-performance question and answer session with ventriloquist Terry Fator at the Puppeteers of America Festival at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland. I was able to chat chat with Terry about performing on America's Got Talent, where his early puppets came from, how much improvisation goes into his act, his singing chops and more. I'm happy to share a recording of that audio with you on this episode of Under The Puppet.

On February 2, 2025, Under The Puppet along with past show guest Christine Papalexis, the Los Angeles Guild of Puppetry and Bob Baker Marionette Theater held a live episode recording celebrating the puppeteers of Pee Wee’s Playhouse. This event sold out in less than 10 minutes and is, as of this recording, the fastest sell out Bob Baker Marionette Theater has ever had. And how can it not be when you bring together Wayne White, Ric Heitzman, George McGrath, Alison Mork and Kevin Carlson who are responsible for bringing to life some of the most beloved television characters of all time. I’m incredibly happy to present the audio recording of that evening on this episode of Under The Puppet.

We'd also like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Lynne Stewart who played Ms. Yvonne on Pee Wee’s Playhouse. This event was recorded before her passing on February 21, 2025 but as you'll hear, she meant a lot to those who worked on the show. We send out our thoughts to Lynne Stewart’s family and to all who knew her and were lucky enough to work with her. She is, was and always will be the most beautiful women in puppet land.

While I was at the 2023 National Puppetry Festival, I met Carol Sterling for the first time. Within a minute of speaking with her, I knew I wanted to get her on the show. Carol Sterling is an educational puppeteer who has taught puppetry in education around the world including as a Fulbright Specialist in Uganda and India and she was invited to the White House for her work in the arts. She is also just about the biggest champion of the puppetry arts that I’ve ever met. It was my pleasure to sit down and chat with Carol Sterling for this episode of Under The Puppet.

Tony turned down a job offer from Jim Henson to focus on building his own career, a career that included hundreds of commercials and television and film work including Flight of the Navigator, Short Circuit, Men In Black, Team America and many, many more. It would be hard to cover his entire career and the impact he’s had on the art of puppetry in ten episodes but we get a good start here as Tony Urbano is my guest on this episode of Under the Puppet.
