My occasional employers since 1978, Sid and Marty Krofft will be surrounded this Saturday at the Orinda Theater in Orinda, California. That's Sid on the left and Marty on the right, and they'll be surrounded by fans of the many TV shows they produced including H.R. Pufnstuf, Lidsville, Donnie & Marie, The Bugaloos, Pink Lady, The Brady Bunch Variety Show, The Krofft Supershow, Pryor's Place, Land of the Lost and so many more.
The event there is called Krofft Kon and it will also feature actors who appeared on some of those shows including Butch Patrick (from Lidsville), Wesley Eure and Kathy Coleman (from Land of the Lost), Johnny Whitaker (from Sigmund and the Sea Monsters) and Sharon Baird (from all of those plus others). I will not be there except in spirit. If you're anywhere near Orinda and want to go, here's a link that'll sell you a ticket.
Readers of this site know that I am not shy about telling the awful truth about some of the folks I've worked with. Well, Sid and Marty were always very good to me and I was proud to be a part, albeit small, of The World of Sid and Marty Krofft. They deserve this celebration and many more.
