Meet the Team Moose Crossing: the Critter Crew pt. 2

How do you go from idea to execution? How do you go from this:


to this:













The key is in having the best creators and builders, and in this case having someone who lives and breathes marionettes and knows how to take a drawing and bring it to fruition as a lovely working marionette!

Kurt Hunter, Hunter Marionettes, is that someone. Kurt has been building and performing for almost all his life.






Kurt took Steve Mark's conceptual drawing and turned it into a mechanical which gave exacting measurements as to the size and shape of the cardinal.












This drawing was then carved, paper mached, gesso'ed, and given a final covering by others in our Critter Crew.

The Cardinal has been capturing the hearts of Moose Crossing audiences since we opened in November! Let the rest of the Critters, the woodsmen, and the whole Moose Crossing family capture yours, too!

Macy's Holiday Puppet Theater is adjacent to the 8th floor auditorium's "Day in the Life of an Elf". Just follow the signs!


Performances and times: (Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun through December 23rd)

10:30 a, 11:30, 1:30 p, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30.
