Theatrical Productions

I'm finally expirimenting with working on my own shows! These are small pieces at the moment, fringe festival works and 10-minute puppet plays I can perform anywhere. I want to explore my voice as a writer and take all these thoughts and characters I've had floating in my head for years to finally interpret in the medium I have fallen in love with. For upcoming shows, check out the bullletin board on the first page.

Some of these pages include the full text, so you can read the work or even perform it. To quote Dave Malloy: "all music is copyright (me) and can be used for fun. but not for money. c'mon."

Poems & Ballads

Shorter pieces that don't have puppets or costumes associated with them (yet).

Events


‘Trash to Life’ Puppet Night

"You don't need to be an artist. You just need to reach out your hand and bring something to life." - puppet perverts(@avantgossip)

Prepare your performances - new and old - and your puppets - be they made of trash or treasure - we open this space to see and be seen, and support each other as a community of artists. We'll be starting with an entry-level workshop where together we’ll experiment with the building blocks of puppetry - bringing emotion, motivation, and life to everyday trash. In between will be some time to chat and learn with our puppeteers, and we'll end the evening with an open-mic style sharing! Works in progress are welcome and encouraged.

  • 3pm - Object puppetry workshop
  • 3:30pm - Show n Tell
  • 4pm - 5:30pm - Open Mic

This event is all ages, but is NOT a children's puppet show! There will be adult material. This is a radical puppet event for artsy freaks.

Previous dates: January 18th, March 22nd.
