The Artistic Director, Tim Giugni writes.

It is important to own your mistakes. The Hello Show was supposed to be the biggest thing since toast.

But the dough never made it out of the oven and the show was retired after just two performances. But I still love it.

Why?

It was simple to put together. Assembly of all of the puppets took less than a week and they all looked great.

But more than anything else, I got to spend time with some of my favorite people. People I don't get to spend that much time with any more.

The puppets now adorn a living room in Portland, Oregon and are played with daily.

The Girl and the Monster.
The cute little girl would recite the "What are Little Girls Made Of?" poem and at the end turn around and become the Monster; the only big laugh of the show.

* Sigh *.
