PUPPETS
Here are some of the fun stage productions I've worked on recently.




Avenue Q
These were for a production of the Tony Award winning "Sesame Street for Adults" Musical by the Curtains Up Players in Huntington, West Virginia. (Design and construction by me, sewing by my lovely wife, Margaret.)
I think these are still available for rental HERE: http://www.curtainsupplayers.org/rentals.html
Charlotte's Web
I created a full set of puppets for a production of "Charlotte's Web" put on by the Capitol High School Theatre in Charlotte, WV. These are some of my favorites.

Old Ben
Here are some terrible photos of the seven-foot snake puppet I made for a production of "Old Ben" for the Greenup County Cooperative Extension Service in Wurtland, Kentucky. (I have some better photos somewhere...don't know where they're hiding!)
