I’m Stacey, but you can call me Stace. I’m an Emmy-winning multi-hyphenate - writer, producer, director, and puppet artist - who has worked everywhere from “Sesame Street” to “Avenue Q”. My favorite thing in the world is building sandboxes so she can invite folks to play, often by developing original projects for stage and screen that promote social awareness through entertainment - concept to final product. After a limited Off-Broadway run of my family musical “Rescue Rue”, I served as episodic director/creative consultant/segment writer for “Reading Buddies: Season 2 on PBS; last year I was also puppet producer for “NickJr’s Puppet Preschool” and puppet consultant for “Blippi’s Treehouse”, and my award-winning 48-hour film “Beach Day” lead to a commission from Heather Henson’s Handmade Puppet Dreams, “Cone of Shame”. My other family works include the musical fairytale “Runaway Rue” (NMI), as well as the digital series “Monica’s Mixing Bowl”. I also write works not-for-families, of which my favorite projects include play cycle ‘spirits – the bar plays’ (Skylight Theater, LA), musical 5th Republic (DG Fellowship; 54 Below), Madame (NYMF), rock opera LUDO’s Broken Bride (Ars Nova’s ANT Fest; NYMF), and the HaLUDOween concerts (The Pageant, ’19/upcoming). When I’m not writing, directing, or producing, I can be found Puppet Wrangling for the likes of Disney’s The Muppets and the denizens of Yankerville, teaching Puppetry at Pace, running around Disneyland, or spoiling my rescue dog Rue.
