Puppets Exposed

For more than 50 years, The Jim Henson Company has brought us characters that have become some of America's most heartwarming, hilarious and—let's be honest—grotesque celebrities.

Digging Out of the Polar Vortex

Winter in Michigan, especially the one we just experienced, leaves quite an impression. While beautiful outside, it tends to encourage a bit of hibernation in us as well, a yin to summer's yang.

Starcatcher's Pan Never Gets Old

It's no secret that children are wizards capable of transforming even the most mundane objects into portals of extraordinary adventure.
