Peter & Friends
First commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Peter & Friends is a toddler retelling of Peter and the Wolf. The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts re-comissioned the production in 2019 with larger puppets.
As a partnership with symphony orchestras, we provide the puppets and storytellers, they provide the five piece chamber orchestra.

Deep Sea Discovery
Commissioned by The Georgia Aquarium, Deep Sea Discovery set out to make many of the aquariums wonders into a tactile experience for Toddlers and their families. The show featured object puppets and set miniatures projected within the aquarium’s atrium.

Hambidge Art Lab
In Spring of 2021, I was given one of five vacant storefronts to transform into an art space for a four month fellowship. I converted my store into a covid-safe family performance space.
Families would sign up for performances just for them! Individuals could sign up for one-on-one workshops and lessons.
The space also included toddler friendly art installations.
Super Cello!
While not an immersive piece, my latest show for the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts is a great example of sustainable, easily-recycled materials…as it’s all built from cardboard.
