String and shadow are the styles of puppetry we are using in The Little Pirate Mermaid. The string puppets are suspended on fishing lines that go up to a control which the puppeteers hold in their hands. There are roughly 11 strings per puppet. Each string is about 7 feet long. The puppets are made from hand carved wood and molded plastic heads. The shadow puppets were made from thin sheets of plastic and jointed with pieces of wire. All of the puppets, costumes and scenery were made right here at the Center for Puppetry Arts.

Reay Kaplan has been a professional actor and puppeteer in Atlanta since 1999. In addition to performing in over 20 productions at the Center for Puppetry Arts, her work has been seen at Synchronicity Theater, The Alliance Theater, Haverty Marionettes, Dad’s Garage, and 7 Stages. In addition to live performing, Reay’s voice can be heard narrating audio books from time to time. Much love and thanks to the cast and crew of The Little Pirate Mermaid, and especially to my Handsome Pirate, Ethan, and my Beautiful Mermaid, Eliza.
