Dear Friends,
|
Last weekend we presented our video puppet at the Maker Faire. It was an absolute blast! What an amazing
gathering of creativity and innovation. We saw
a life-sized Rube Goldberg Machine inspired “mouse trap,” a cup cake car,
butterfly bicycles, and a whole lot more. And it was a great test for our video
puppet – we're confident he's ready for his debut performance in Prelude this
Friday, where we'll present an excerpt of the world premiere of Erin Courtney's latest
play, The Service Road, directed by Meghan Finn. We can't wait for you to
see the wonders professional puppeteer Caroline Tamas works with our boy this Friday at Prelude.
Hope to see you there!

Field Notes from The Service Road
A ferocious storm hits Prospect Park. The once peaceful service road turns
strange as a nature guide attempts to find a lost child. On her quest she
meets the denizens of one of the few natural places left in a large city.
The nature guide is a modern day Hercules trying to do penance for a very bad thing
she had done when she was out of her mind. Obie award winning playwright
(Map of Virtue) Erin Courtney examines what it means to be of service and the true
nature of forgiveness.

“Are you kidding? Who wouldn't be psyched to work with Erin Courtney in the
development of a new play! And this isn't any ordinary commission. You see, Erin
has been our friend and mentor for years. She knows us as artists, as parents, as a couple,
and as individuals. She consciously used her intimate knowledge of us in creating ‘The
Service Road’. Her character of The Big-Headed Toddler that is played by Cory's video puppet was inspired by our son Emmett, who, I kid you not, could identify any of the over
100 birds and ducks in Prospect Park before he was two years old! Our family's DNA is
in ‘The Service Road!’ The entire process continues to be an experience
like no other.”
