(A new character is coming, it’s not a replacement of the current puppeteer) The performer will be required starting from 1st July 2011. Auditions run on 1st and 8th of June with call backs on 15th, 16th and 17th June.

First of all, I want to thank you for all of this information, it is very helpful. I am a fan of the muppets and Jim Henson's work is very inspirational. I just wanted to clear up something about your post. I am working on a project for school. It is a video and I had the idea of having Oscar the Grouch host it. If I were to make a puppet of him (lol not very accurate because I have no experience in puppet building) but it would hopefully be recognizable, would that be legal? I don't want to cause any trouble, I just want to make sure before I end up making a mistake. I would not be making any money off the video, as it's just a class project for my high school, and I would certainly not be selling it or making any more. Please let me know what you think. Thank you!
