THE HIP POCKET THEATRE COLORING BOOK - 1985

 While my work on the next book in my puppetry series continues, I though i would keep this blog alive with some miscellaneous posts which don't fit into a particual show or category.

Up first is THE HIP POCKET THEATRE COLORING BOOK. Diane Simons and I designed the concept for this little souvenir item to go along with the T Shirts and other things sold from the box office before and after the shows. The artwork was done by Adrian Martinez.
 Cliff Conklin was a local area actor who worked with us at CASA MANANA and during the original seasons at HWY 80 in Fort Worth. He was also the son of famed comic CHESTER CONKLIN, one of the original KEYSTONE KOPS in silent films.
Jimmy Joe Steenbergen rode his own motorcycle in this and other productions.

PINOCCHIO COMMEDIA will open the theatre's 38th Season outdoors on June 6th!
