Kimberley Van Aelst, founder of Oompapossum Puppets
Kimberly is thrilled to be bringing her twisty tale of The Three Little Pigs to the Puppet Showplace Mainstage! She has been performing her beloved children’s puppet shows for over a decade in libraries, schools, museums and at festivals throughout the tri-state area. She also acclaimed for her adult puppet shows. In 2019, Kimberly joined former PST resident artist Brad Shur & puppeteered in his production of Error Code at the Jim Henson Carriage House in Manhattan. Puppet at Night fans might remember her film Curse of the Lemon that was featured at the December 2021 Puppet Slam.
