Who are your festival directors?

Debbie Lutzky Allen is one half of the puppet company, Parasol Puppets. She received a BA in Liberal Arts with the intention of becoming an art teacher. She returned for an MA in Theatre and Puppetry. Debbie has been performing and teaching puppetry since 1979, first in Hawaii and now in Missouri. She has taught puppetry at numerous schools, conducting residencies to emphasize language arts through puppetry.

Peter Allen has been performing as a puppeteer and actor for over 25 years. Born in England, he began performing at the tender age of eight. Peter has performed in England, Scotland, Germany, the United States, and Canada. His extensive travels may have given rise to the rumor that he was jostled out of the wagon of a band of destitute gypsies. He has given workshops and appeared at both Regional and National Festivals
