Drama of Works

Drama of Works is a Brooklyn-based puppet theater company, specializing in experimental, thoughtful works that pit actors and puppets on stage together. We use a wide array of puppet styles and enjoy thinking outside the box. Now we finally have a home for some video footage online.

"One of the companies at the center of [the new puppetry renaissance] is Drama of Works, a Brooklyn-based collective led by Artistic Director Gretchen Van Lente...While many contemporary companies inspire 'oohs' and 'ahhs' from their audience, the focus is sometimes so exclusively on craft that the end result feels a little shallow. I have often left productions impressed by technique but wishing technique had been applied to something with more narrative and thematic depth. Drama of Works, however, consistently produces work that functions and satisfies on multiple levels."
