About Frisch Marionette Company:
Kevin Frisch moved from Cincinnati to New York City and joined Nicolas Coppola’s The Puppetworks, Inc., of Brooklyn, NY in 1986. Working with many puppeteers, Kevin developed his own art, craft and skills as a puppeteer and artist. Kevin spent the next nine years touring the New York Metropolitan area as well as performing in The Puppetworks’ permanent theatres in Brooklyn and Macy’s Herald Square.
In 1995, he established The Frisch Marionettes as an exceptional entertainment and educational experience for children and adults alike, proclaiming the many virtues of this unusual art form.
Frisch Marionettes have built puppets, masks and costumes for The Central Park Zoo, New York Aquarium and The Puppetworks Inc. They’ve been seen in People Magazine, SHOWTIME’S “Twisted Puppet Theater,” the PBS Documentary “The American Puppet” and onstage with The Cincinnati Opera as well as in the New York store windows of Saks 5th Avenue, Bloomingdales’ and Hermes New York. And most recently the motion picture Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. http://www.frischmarionettes.com

LIFE AFTER GOD, the next CPI New Voices presentation, is looking for a male actor to step in to the role of Mark. A description is below. Looking for someone who fits the description, though would be willing to work with someone who isn’t a “perfect” match. As this is a staged reading, there is little memorization and only a couple of rehearsals to learn some basic blocking. The performance is Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7:30 PM. If interested, please contact the director, Thurman Allen, via e-mail: microserf88@yahoo.com.
