ODYSSEY
is designed to be "one vast experiment" that is "always
changing as some parts moved on to become full shows", such
as "Rapunzel" or moved on to oblivion such as
"Flatland". The show won praise at the Fringe
at the Puppeteers of America National in 1995 at Bryn Mawr.
"Odyssey" continues to use a variety of puppetry,
mask and physical comedy; whirled together to form events from
everyday life that take on some highly unusual turns. The show
is a series of vignettes 7 to 12 minutes in length with an occasional
20 minute segment when requested by a venue.

place where small ideas could turn into big ones". This
