Krystal, famous for its iconic square hamburgers, announced that it will donate puppet versions of its classic Krystal foods to the Center for Puppetry Arts® in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Center for Puppetry Arts is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to the art of puppetry in the country and has introduced millions of visitors to the wonder and magic of puppetry through performances, curriculum-based workshops, and interactive installations in its Worlds of Puppetry Museum. The Museum features the largest collection of Jim Henson puppets and props in the world and will soon be home to a special area designated to the Krystal puppets.
The Krystal puppets were created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop in support of The Krystal Company’s 2016 “Shun the Ho-Hum” advertising campaign. The campaign featured playful puppet versions of the classic Krystal, Krystal Chik, Krystal fries and the Country-fried Krystal.
The donation fits in with the mission of the Krystal Foundation, which was established to provide much-needed funding for educational enrichment programs such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education, music and the performing arts, culinary instruction, and various sports programs.
Visitors to the Center for Puppetry Arts will be able to see the Krystal Puppets on display next summer.
