Check it out!

The Between the Lions web site has been

completely redone.  It now offers games,

stories, videos, and lots of audio and video

downloads at Lions to Go.  Now you can

carry around your favorite BTL music on your

mp3 player. Parents can also find activities and

resources galore, as well as the TV schedule.

And if you really look, you can even find Tim's

name on the TV credits!

My cousin, Timothy Lagasse, is a puppeteer on this wonderful  program on PBS.
He is the voice of both Arty Smartypants and Barnaby B. Busterfield, as well as Watson, Gus the rabbit, the Rock, Steve the Bowling Ball, the Hopping Hen, Fuzzy Wuzzy and the King. The web site is wonderful.  I have videotaped all of the 30 minute shows in the second season.

 

Who are the puppeteers for the characters, and who
provides their voices?
The puppeteers for Between the Lions
are Kathryn Mullen (Puppet Captain),
Anthony Asbury (Co-Captain), Heather
Asch, Jennifer Barnhart, Tyler Bunch,
Tim Lagasse, Peter Linz, and Jim
Napolitano. Some of the puppets are
actually operated by two people, but
the voices you hear used to be Peter's
(Theo), Jennifer's (Cleo), Anthony's
(Lionel), Kathy's (Leona), and
Heather's (Click).

I think you should update the FAQ about who
voices which puppets. Can you add that Tim
Lagasse is the voice of Barnaby B. (don't call
me Buster) Busterfield, Gus the Bunny and
(build the excitement drum roll, please) Arty
Smartypants?

Between the Lions replies:
We have a full list of credits for the show, and
Mr. Lagasse makes several appearances
there. We'll look into creating a puppet-specific listing in the future.

that Tim has given to me for our classroom.

                 
I have hung it near the classroom door.        
Thanks, Tim!
