The Scripted Muppet Caper

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!The Muppet Script returns to bring you THE SCRIPTED MUPPET CAPER! Some returning favorites, some new faces, and the same old jokes from the Muppets. This live reading takes place on Monday, May 5th @ 7:30pm at the Dynasty Typerwriter in Los Angeles, and will also be live streamed worldwide!This performance will be raising funds for The TransLatin@ Coalition. Founded in 2009, The TransLatin@ Coalition (TLC) emerged as a grassroots movement led by a group of Transgender, Gender Expansive, and Intersex (TGI) immigrant women in Los Angeles, California. Recognizing the urgent and unique needs of TGI Latin@ immigrants in the United States, these trailblazers came together to create a space for advocacy, empowerment, and direct support.
