Brian Henson to Host One-Night Puppetry Showcase in Hollywood

The Ricardo Montalban Theater will host an intimate look at the evolution of puppetry on August 2, 2026, as Brian Henson takes the stage. The chairman of The Jim Henson Company plans to pull back the curtain on the technical innovations that defined classics like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.

Tickets are now available for the 90-minute presentation, which promises a blend of personal anecdotes, production history, and live demonstrations of the Henson style. Brian Henson, an Emmy-winning director and producer, will guide the audience through the mechanics that brought iconic characters to life across television and film. Beyond a retrospective of the company’s storied catalog, the event offers a rare chance to witness the master puppeteer explain the nuances of the art form that has remained a family entertainment staple for over seven decades.

The single-show engagement is scheduled for 2:00 PM and serves as a companion to the ongoing run of the improv comedy show Puppet Up!, which occupies the same Hollywood venue from July 31 through August 9. Fans can secure seats for the conversation at $79 plus fees via the official Jim Henson Experiences portal. The program is designed for industry enthusiasts and casual viewers alike, bridging the gap between the golden age of practical effects and the company’s current work in digital animation and animatronics.
