Trained as an altar boy to respond in Latin, I was attracted to the theater a long time ago.

After some twenty years working and teaching as a scenic designer, I left the traditional theater, established a studio in Seattle and began making street theater -- using puppets.

PUPPETSOUP THEATER OF OBJECTS [pstoo] then, gave birth to her first shows on the street in 1982. Performing on the street has its drawbacks, however, and I began thinking of a show that I could do on a large tabletop; and then after the show -- serve a soup supper!

So was born the SOUPTALKS -- an ongoing work-in-progress now celebrating its twentieth anniversary of asking: "Why are here and why do we have so many weapons?"
