thatcrazycajunJim Henson, the late, great and dearly missed, was an early and enthusiastic backer of the Center for Puppetry Arts, our very own museum of the felt-and-fabric set here in Hotlanta. So imagine my delight to hear this news that his family has decided to establish the definitive permanent exhibit of his creations at CPA.
Yeah, sure, it won't open for another five years, but ya gotta admit it does give the City Too Busy to Hate (and Too Choked With Traffic to Move) one more cultural feather in its cap. This, after having exhibited original puppets from Rankin-Bass' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special last winter, cements CPA's rep as a world-class facility for the study and promotion of puppetry.
So, who's your favorite Henson character? Mine's Rowlf, the piano-playing pooch ("I'm no Heifetz, but I get by").
