		Jim Henson’s The Storyteller and Jim Henson’s Greek Myths were original series conceived by Henson to convey the metaphoric richness of ancient stories.
		Henson’s film and television productions are too numerous to recount here, as are his varied roles in them: he often served as writer, director, producer, and “performer” (as puppeteer and voice) in his productions, and occasionally in other roles as well (such as choreography for The Muppets Take Manhattan).
