The Puppet Men Cometh

In the next few weeks, I'll be cooking with people that I connected with over puppets.

Yes. Puppets.

One of my weird creative hobbies, I cut my stage teeth at the visual-arts focused company, Redmoon Theater in Chicago. Through shadow-, papier-mache-, rod-, hand-, found-, toy-, and even stuff-animal puppets, I have bonded with some of my closest friends, expanded my social network, and found a new community in New York. And, I swear, these people are some of the most inventive and normal I know. Well... maybe the latter is a bit of an overstatement.

So, what should you expect? Corned beef by John Ardolino, Drama of Works associate director, and a soup-based sauce by John Payne (and the subject of my first webisode - to be filmed by his bud and Puppetbox bandmate, Mark Annotto), former student of the London School of Puppetry. Surprises, I am sure, will abound.
