The Scripted Muppet Caper
A live reading of the screenplay to 1981's The Great Muppet Caper to support The TransLatin@ Coalition
When most people think of the Muppets, they think of the colorful characters made out of fleece and foam. But as with every movie, it all starts on the written page. Before returning to the big screen, the Muppets returned to the writers’ room. Muppets head writer JERRY JUHL was joined this time by TOM PRATCHETT, JACK ROSE, and JAY TARSES to take the gang overseas to jolly old England, in JIM HENSON’S directorial debut. With music by JOE RAPOSO, THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER is a true delight!
