Seedlings!

To get us in the pickle spirit we planted some cucumber seeds under our florescent light in the studio and they've sprouted! They are serving to inspire us as we launch into Rough Cuts--the visual brainstorming we do at the beginning of each new show.

By the end of rough cuts we'll have several hundred images cut out and will then begin to sequence it into the first story board. Stay tuned!

How to Grow A Pickle

Hey there! Baltimore has thawed out and we are very excited to get to work on Nana Projects newest puppet show "How to Grow a Pickle." Parks and People Foundation has partnered with us on the project and we received generous funding from The Puppeteers of America Foundation and William G. Baker Fund. "Pickle" will premier July 17, 2010 at the Port City Puppetry Festival and tour to Baltimore Green spaces throughout the summer and fall. Now it's time for us to get to work!
