Fans of “Donkey Hodie,” and anyone interested in television or film, should enjoy looking behind the scenes of the popular PBS Kids show when they visit the Elmhurst Art Museum to view, “Designing Donkey Hodie: From Make Believe to Someplace Else.” The exhibition runs through Aug. 12.
Visitors to the exhibition “Designing Donkey Hodie” at the Elmhurst Art Museum will discover that several puppeteers work behind the scenes to make the PBS Kids program come alive. “This exhibition is original to our museum,” said Executive Director John McKinnon. “We worked with Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures. They put us together with Justin Vandenberg from the art department of Spiffy Pictures. He and his crew build all the sets and create all the props. He helped us understand how all the behind-the-scenes filming, production, and other things come to life because it is so handmade.
“At the beginning, Fred Rogers Productions reached out to us because they wanted to do a spinoff series with this character called Donkey Hodie that Fred Rogers created,” Rudman related. “Adam and I worked with Ellen Doherty at Fred Rogers Productions and we developed the show with them.” Because it’s a puppet show, there are some limitations. “We figure out all the problems before we get into the studio,” Rudman said.Rudman noted that he has a connection to the Elmhurst Art Museum because that was where he saw artist Dave Pryor’s artwork in the gift shop and got Pryor’s contact information. He later met with Pryor and chose him to design the “Donkey Hodie” characters, along with Rudman.
“Who better than a donkey, and a donkey named Donkey Hodie, to create a series about resilience and big dreams?,” DiQuollo said.
