Are you ready for the puppet show of the year? Puppets are not just for children I assure you. I found a great post detailing the as-yet elusive production of The Narrative of Victor Karloch.
The Narrative of Victor Karloch is a non-profit traveling stage show presented in the style of an eerie Victorian triptych puppet theater. The three original stories in the show are about 15 minutes in length and are written in the classic gothic horror tradition of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, M.R. James and Algernon Blackwood. The show benefits The Art of Elysium, a charity that encourages artists to help children battling serious medical conditions.
[The show] uses 30″ tall rod puppets, traditional shadow puppetry (woodcuts designed by Eisner Award-winning graphic novel artist Gary Gianni), rear-projected elements and full scale insert props to present the adventures of Victor Karloch, an alchemist, scholar, and ghost hunter, as he battles the supernatural forces of the Unknown.
Here is the trailer:
I can’t wait for this production!
I’m not much of a facebooker, but I don’t want to miss information and show listings so I actually joined the film page here.
Check out more info about the production and the star-studded cast here.

Thank You so much for the endorsement! The short film version of this production is in production at the moment, so please watch the Facebook page for updates! I am hoping for a Halloween release for the stage show and the short film festival version.
All the best,
Kevin

April 27, 2012 at 10:04 am Hi Meredith,I\’m so sorry to belatedly read about the clnsoig of your online shadow puppet business the designs are awesome!!!I\’m an elementary art teacher and I love making shadow puppets with students.I wondered if you could give me tips on the exact size (and hopefully any bulk order info) for the alligator clips you used in your stick controls. Along with the Velcro tab (I watched the Martha Stewart clip!) ,this is definitely less cumbersome and more sturdy than other methods. I work with many children, and the cost of small packets of those alligator clips is prohibitive.Any specific tips on size, order info, where to get the alligator clips in bulk more cheaply would be GREATLY appreciated!All the best in your continuing creative endeavors,Ellen B.
