Experiments in Puppetry: A Cabaret

Attending a Conservatory-Style University program comes with many perks, not the least of which is the incredible opportunity to create and workshop one's own work. I recently had the opportunity to fuse my musical theater training and puppetry work in a cabaret entitled "Experiments in Puppetry: A Cabaret".

Along with talented musical theater majors Leeds Hill, Matt Hill, Greg Kamp and Emily Schexnaydre, I created six pieces using varying types and styles of puppetry. From the humorous to the bizarre, this 30 min piece featured everything from table-top tapping, twisted show tunes and a child-eating bear. These experiments, I hope, will lead to new discoveries in the future.

"Experiments in Puppetry: A Cabaret" was Presented on November 22nd, 2010 at the College-Conservatory of Music and accompanied on piano by Anthony De Angelis. Stay tuned for video highlights.
