Feature Story
Fraggle Rock Comes to Northwest Arkansas
Grew up waiting all week for a new Fraggle Rock episode?
This week, I had the chance to interview Trinity Harvey, the performer who originated Red Fraggle in the live show! She gives us the inside scoop:
How you make a Fraggle talk with what’s basically a bike brake
Why the show is 90 minutes of cardio
What it was like learning from Red’s original puppeteer, Karen Prell.
Read the story before the Fraggles dance into Walton Arts Center on November 1.
