Gina Wilhelm
Puppeteer
Gina (she/her) is thrilled to return to the Center for Puppetry Arts, having played every other tour Thistle Theatre has taken to Atlanta. Gina likes to say she came to puppetry genetically, as her family performed puppet shows in Thailand before she was born. She has performed with Thistle Theatre for 12 years. When not performing with Thistle, she can be found acting on stage herself or performing ventriloquism shows with her own company, Works of Gina’s. Gina loves returning to Atlanta and is excited to perform for you.
Cass Bray
Puppeteer
Cass (she/they) is a lighting designer, theatre artist and puppeteer based in Seattle, WA.

Their work has since been featured in the 2019 and 2022 National Slams, the National Puppetry Journal (2019) and The Seattle Times (2022). Their work was showcased in Chinese Theatre Works’ 2021 Int’lShadow Slam, as well as the puppetry track at DragonCon in 2022.
