Under the Umbrella Tree (1986)
i met noreen
I had the pleasue of meeting Noreen Young, the creator of this show. she also built the puppets and voiced gloria gopher and mrs. mcmurtry. i took a 5 day puppet workshop with her at her house in near Ottawa (since i want to be involved in puppetry). she's a very nice, laid back lady. her house is full of puppets, and i got to see Iggy, Gloria, Jacob and everyone. i also got to meet her brother Steve Braithwaite, who voiced Jacob. on the last day of the workshop, she showed me this video of outtakes from under the umbrella tree. holly screwing up her lines and saying "oh sh**", and Steve Braithewaite and Bob Stutt voicing Jacob and Iggy making them say dirty stuff, it was hilarious. anyways, yeah, that workshop was probably one of the best times of my life
