Henson puppets headlining “Ding” Darling Days October 20
“Ding” Darling Days To Feature Ibex Puppetry & Hensen Puppets!
“Ding” Darling Days & The “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society has announced:
“The late Jim Henson’s life’s work as creator of the popular, immortal Muppets tradition has assured his title as a world-renowned puppet maestro. His daughter, Heather Henson, continues his puppeteering work and love of Florida wildlife with her Orlando-based IBEX Puppetry troupe, which will be performing on “Ding” Darling Days Family Fun Day, Oct. 20, 2013.
The troupe’s interactive Endangered Species & Wildlife Parade features life-sized puppets made of recycled material, plus kites, flags, drums, costumes, and music.
“We’re always adding new elements to our presentations,” said Company Manager Frank Ramirez. “You’re really going to get a good one here,” he promised with enthusiasm. “We’ll be creating new creatures that are indigenous to this area especially for the event.”
In addition to short, energetic, improv parades every hour starting at 11:30 a.m. on Family Fun Day, the IBEX troupe will set up its Endangered Species Garden that day.”
