Episode 102

Guest: Arlee Chadwick

Puppeteer, designer, and builder Arlee Chadwick joins me on The Staffa Corner to share her journey from dance to Sesame Street Live, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, and Broadway’s BOOP! The Musical. She explains how an injury opened an unexpected door to marionettes and reflects on the mentors who helped shape her career.

I love the passion in her voice as she talks about her work, whether she’s describing a beloved storybook character or a wonderfully bizarre movie monster. We also explore her interactive show Imagination Strings and her efforts to keep marionette building accessible through YouTube tutorials that inspire people around the world.
