The Sunny Side Show! [behind the scenes]

The Sunny Side Show! [behind the scenes]

Project Overview

The Sunny Side Show was a short-lived children’s puppet program that aired sometime in the late 1990s to early 2000s… or so the story goes. Supposedly designed to “encourage creativity, kindness, and connection,” the show abruptly vanished without reruns, press coverage, or proper cancellation.

But the puppets are still here.
The tapes are still playing.
And someone—known only as The Watcher—has started uncovering them.
We’re casting for voice actors, ASL performers, artists, and community participants to help bring the show—and its secrets—to life.

This project will be episodic and community-driven, with lore unfolding over time through videos, images, character recordings, and interactive fan engagement.

Sunny!
open
Unpaid

The eternally-smiling host of the Sunny Side Show. Sunny’s voice should sound comforting at first, like a preschool teacher or children’s show mascot—but with a cold, calculated undertone hidden behind her joy. Over time, cracks may appear in her performance. Think: unsettling cheer.
Inspiration: Miss Minutes (Loki), Poppy (Poppy Playtime), Spinel (Steven Universe)

Voice description:
  • female child

Patch

Patch is a mute puppet who communicates via whiteboard and ASL. When he does speak (in rare distorted recordings or dreamlike sequences), his voice is soft, pained, and full of urgency—like he’s trying not to be heard by someone watching.

  • "Shes lying."

  • "Leave. leave while you can."

  • "She trapped us.. you're next."

Merry Melody

Unpaid

Melody is the show’s musician and emotional center. Her voice is soft and melancholy, like an old memory or a forgotten song. She often speaks in metaphors or fragmented thoughts. Ideal for someone who can portray deep sadness through sweetness.
[Would be nice if you can sing lullaby-style or hum in tune but not required]

  • "do you remember the lullaby?"

  • "you remember me right? right? i- you.. you have to. please.."

  • "okay sunny! lets play your game than!"

Tugboat Tom

Unpaid

Tom is the puppet mechanic—designed to be helpful and silly, but something's wrong. His voice should sound like a kids’ show goofball (think Fix-It Felix or goofy handyman vibes), but with a nervous energy. He forgets things. He stammers. And sometimes, he glitches.
[Optional: robotic stuttering or stammer effect.]

  • "Haha! cmon! dont pout Ivy, I can fix your camera!" [Happy]

  • "I CAN FIX IT! SUNNY PLEASE SUNNY!!" [Fearful]

Ivy

Unpaid

Ivy is a later addition to the cast—a curious, green-haired puppet with a photographer motif. Her voice is intelligent, analytical, and a bit emotionally distant. She’s observant, asks questions others avoid, and may know more than she lets on.

  • "Smile for the photo!"

  • "Dont let her know. she'll come for you next."

Marine

Unpaid

Marnie is mysterious and reserved, speaking with slow, deliberate rhythm—like someone always halfway between sleep and revelation. Their presence is heavy, like a spirit refusing to fade. Ideal for someone who can sound both exhausted and wise.

  • "dont sleep.. you need to stay awake..."

  • "That cloud looks like a cat... doesnt it, sunny?"

  • "[Yawn].. maybe ill take a small nap..."

The Hands AKA ASL Interpreter
open
Unpaid

In The Sunny Side Show, a pair of human hands appear in the corner of the screen, silently interpreting the puppet characters' lines in American Sign Language. This is part of the show’s in-universe accessibility… but something’s off.

The interpreter will:

  • Translate puppet dialogue live or via pre-recorded videos

  • Occasionally sign strange or unrelated phrases, cryptic messages, or lore clues not spoken aloud

  • Be a recurring presence in the visual narrative — almost like a character trapped inside the show

Other info:
  • ASL

  • English: “The puppets don’t remember… but I do.” ASL Gloss: "PUPPETS REMEMBER NONE BUT ME REMEMBER STILL"

  • English: “You were here before. Do you remember?” ASL Gloss: "BEFORE YOU HERE REMEMBER ?"
