“My father, Jim Henson, loved the art of puppetry.<br />

He was constantly experimenting with new<br />

technologies and <strong>for</strong>ms; there was nothing more<br />

exciting than creating something that had never been<br />

done be<strong>for</strong>e. We are delighted the <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>Puppetry</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> will make it possible <strong>for</strong> the public to<br />

see and experience the full breadth of this<br />

extraordinary work that reaches across generations<br />

and countries to touch everybody. My father was<br />

active in the International puppet community and<br />

supported innovative puppeteers through his<br />

foundation. There is no better place to celebrate<br />

my father’s work than here at the premiere<br />

puppetry center in the United States.”<br />
