Becoming Real: A Muppeteer's Journey with Dave Goelz



Becoming Real: A Muppeteer's Journey with Dave Goelz is an event held at The Walt Disney Family Museum on August 13, 2016 featuring Dave Golez and Gonzo.

Goelz addressed an audience in relation to the museum's running exhibit "Wish Upon a Star: The Art of Pinocchio" and showed clips of his career with the Muppets. Topics included how he met Jim Henson, the practical joke nature of The Muppet Workshop, situations Jerry Juhl would write for him to perform in "Postcards from Traveling Matt" segments on Fraggle Rock, and his own personal growth as a person working with the Muppets.

Gonzo later appeared during a Q&A with the audience to assist in a story about how his eye mechanism evolved, whether or not he's an alien, his relationship with Camilla, and did an impression of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.
