  • Jessica Max Stein Celebrates The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer

    rainbow_connection_lg

    This event is a reading from Jessica Max Stein’s 84-page zine The Rainbow Connection: Richard Hunt, Gay Muppeteer. It’s a biography of the man behind such beloved characters as Statler, Beaker, Miss Piggy and Janice. Come watch over an hour of Muppet clips and learn about this tragically short-lived, hugely talented queer puppeteer with a wide range of talents.

    For more info:
