Featuring Puppetry NOW Artist Tom Lee

Tom Lee offers an inside look at his creative process through images, sketches, and video, exploring how he develops original, long-form puppet theater.

Attendees are invited to submit a one-page description of a puppetry project, along with an image or sketch, for shared discussion and feedback.
