Formerly offered through Tears of Joy Theatre, in these four- or five-day residencies taught by Kelly Campbell, students construct their own puppets and learn how to bring them to life through movement and voice. The artist develops the stories, casts all students for parts in the play and leads them in making and developing a voice for their puppets. The artist directs the class in a performance of their play on the last day of the residency. 

General Cost:

• Young Audiences pricing - $70 per session 
• Independent contract - Contact for customized pricing (you can use your Run for Arts funds independently, ask me how)
