Profile Information

Location: Glen Ellyn, IL

Relationship to Puppetry: We are a Chicago based puppet company that write and perform original shows for children. The Mission of Sea Beast Puppet Company is to promote excellence in puppetry as a theatrical art form. We provide an opportunity for people of all ages to view puppet performances and enrich the community through imaginative storytelling.

What First Got Me Interested in Puppetry: We were all inspired at a young age by the puppetry of Jim Henson.

My Puppetry (or Puppet) Hero: Jim Henson, Basil Twist, Richard Bradshaw, Julie Taymor, Michael Curry, Paul Zaloom.

If I Were a Puppet, I'd Be...: Kat- a blender because it would be awesome to spin that fast and have blades. Or a shadow puppet because they are mysterious and sexy.
Tom- Gonzo or Sweetums.
MK-those cool rabbit/giraffe things from The Dark Crystal
