Throughout childhood I loved performing! It was to me a vehicle to connect with others in a joyful, meaningful way. A lifelong love of music has brought me much joy as a professional singer and a musician. Not long after completing a theatre arts degree, I was asked by a fellow graduate to help perform puppet stories for school children. We knelt in a large black box, holding the puppets above our heads, so we never had the opportunity to see the children's faces, but I was struck by how silent they were throughout the entire show. Later after beginning the journey as a teacher in a classroom, whenever a puppet troupe traveled to our school, it was unforgettable to see how deeply the children connected with the puppets!

The journey continued during a rich immersion in Waldorf teacher training, where I discovered a treasure trove of stories that engage the imagination and bring nature and story characters to life in a magical way; and a puppet storytelling style that allows the audience to accompany the story with an approach that delights the head, heart, and hands! Starlite Puppets & Music was born, and thus began the journey of sharing music and puppetry worldwide.

All puppets are hand sculpted using beautiful natural fibers. We love watching members of a community join together and delight in the magic within a story told with puppets. The experience invites the audience members to slow down, to create within themselves a place for something new and wonder-filled to happen, and to enter into the simplicity and beauty with their imaginations. Each performance is fresh, is designed to connect with the audience. It is such a privilege and joy to share music & puppet storytelling.
