Maker
Stephanie Sakson
Inspired by her role as Jacob Marley in the Dickens Fest, and as a fine artist, costume maker, and all-around craftsperson, local resident Stephanie Sakson initially created the Magpie Puppet Theatre to share the story of A Christmas Carol. The new show brings ever more creativity to the mix, featuring a mini theatre-in-the-round. The maker's fondness for reuse of common materials, such as plastic straws, chopsticks, and takeout containers, reflects their environmental consciousness and love of minimalism.
