I got a call from the LTL organization about their annual gala at the famed Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom, home to the Golden Globes.

This year they created a late night talk show style program starring Israeli comedian/TV personality, Guri Alki with musical guest, Netta Barzilai. AND they want an all puppet band. Why? Who knows! But we’re doin’ it.

I had eight days to:

• source and cut music tracks
• click tracks
• find/choose/get clearance
• rent puppets
• scour the internet and stores to find miniature instruments, wardrobe and accessories
• find puppeteer
• paint, sew and rig props
• learn all the music and vocals
• partner with set and technical designers for TV and audio monitors. IFB earpiece, mics
• load in, rehearsal cue to cue with host, techs, cameras, then show.
