On June 16th + 17th, I presented an initial scene from Model Killer: Giant Crimes & Tiny Cover-Ups, as an artist-in-residence at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center at the culmination of the National Puppetry Conference.Model Killer is a morbid comedy centered on Vivian Nutt, a disgruntled dollhouse maker turned investigator.
