"Poe"trait

Tonight Brad and I went to the Center for Puppetry Arts in downtown ATL. It has a sweet museum of Jim Henson muppets, Fraggle Rock, Ernie, and a real life Big Bird. So we got to see all of that and then we went to a puppet show called "Tales of Edgar Allen Poe". When I say puppet I mean like real handcrafted spitting images of Poe about 2 and half feet tall. The actors put their hands through the sleeves of the puppet so it looked like Poe had real human hands. Gosh the puppet aspect of it was incredible. A true creative show. They had a sweet sound effects dude too. The content of the show was disturbing because that is how Poe's poems are. But we had some good laughs taking these funny pictures.

  1. When Brian and I were in Seattle last June we saw that same Jim Henson exhibit! It was really neat:) There wasn't an Edgar Allen Poe thing, though...those pictures crack me up!!
