An Exclusive Reunion & Unveiling
For the first time in nearly 40 years, one of the most unforgettable characters from Pee-wee’s Playhouse returns. Special guests Alison Mork, Kevin Carlson, and Christine Papalexis will join for an unforgettable evening celebrating the first public unveiling of the original Season One Globey puppet, newly conserved and now part of the Center’s permanent collection.
For fans who grew up watching the Playhouse, Globey was not just a puppet—he was a friend. This event marks the first opportunity in decades to see the original, season one puppet again, reunited with the artists who brought him to life.
