Much thanks to the museum for being good sports with us!

Thanks to Jon Weaver, MFA Lighting Design Candidate for being completely and utterly awesome. (his website.)

And to Richard Fosbrink for organizing the location. (his website [isn't complete].)

You should all check out PuppetART, a wonderful organization here in Detroit. The above are shots of their new show, Snow Queen.

Here’s some info:

“PuppetART Center is located in Detroit’s Theater District, just a few blocks from the Michigan Opera Theater, Music Hall and the Gem and Century Theaters. The Center includes an intimate 70-person theater, a museum that accommodates a growing collection of puppets and a studio featuring various workshops.

Founded in 1998 by a group of puppeteers and artists trained in the former Soviet Union, all members of the PuppetART troupe are masters of puppetry art theater. PuppetART offers a repertoire of eight productions, including one created for adult audiences. Performances feature hand, rod, shadow, floor tabletop and string or marionette puppets. All events at PuppetART combine a theater performance, a tour of the museum and a workshop in the studio.*”
