My Project

During my first semester as an elementary theatre teacher, I have observed how much my students love the opportunity to play pretend.

Just like holding a prop in their hands or donning a costume, puppets enhance young students' abilities to make-believe and tell stories.

I have even modeled puppeteering of my own with a special friend on my hand and their suspension of disbelief is remarkable.

After watching myself perform for them, I would love to give my students the opportunity to perform for their classmates as well! Thank you!
