Hello!
It's nice to meet you :)
My name is Katy and I love telling stories through puppetry! I have been studying and practicing puppetry for over a decade, and have just absolutely fallen in love with the art form. It allows me to stretch my design and fabrication muscles, while being able to tap into my deep love for performing. There is something so special about bringing an object to life, and I am honored to share that gift as much as I can.
I currently work primarily as a puppeteer and director. I have really been enjoying my time on the stage, and also have a passion for teaching others. It has been my pleasure to serve as Puppet Director and Puppet Captain on many productions over the years. And for the right show I love to design and fabricate puppets.
I have puppets for rent for shows like Into the Woods, Wizard of Oz, Hand to God, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus, and others. Take a look around my website, feel free to reach out, and enjoy the puppets!
