Bull Goes Global!

Bull Goes Global

I am very pleased to announce that Thistledown Puppets has received a wonderful Christmas present. We will be licensing Bull: A Puppet Musical to TED UK to be performed May through October of 2009 at the Sensatori resort on the island of Crete. TED UK “prides itself on being more than just an Agency; our area of expertise is providing you with the entire package of well-balanced Entertainment that most suits your audience and venue needs. Our core business is the supply of live Artistes for UK Holiday Parks, worldwide hotels, cruising and corporate events“. Sensatori, managed by Thomson Holiday,  is a five star resort that offers, among many other things, nighttime entertainment for families.  Bull will be performed bi-weekly during the 2009 season.

We are very excited to be working  with Max Barraclough and the production team at TED UK. The show, written and directed by the talented Alex Lucas, will be getting a full musical score by a musical director from London’s West End.  We were excited at how well the show was received locally at the Roanoke Arts Festival and we can’t wait to see how international audiences respond to this funny and heart-warming puppet musical.

Update…

Thistledown Puppets

I haven’t posted in a while, but I wanted to give a quick update on what has been happening at Thistledown Puppets. Ever since the premiere of Bull, we have been working on other projects including building some really cool puppets (hopefully I’ll be able to post a few pics), performing a holiday show for the Down Syndrome Association of Roanoke, and interacting with some great people. And, speaking of Bull, we have a pretty big announcement concerning that show coming in the next few days, so please stay tuned…
