Some of my work is now being featured in The Feast: An Intimate Tempest, a Redmoon Theater and Chicago Shakespeare Theater collaboration. To the right are some excerpts from reviews.


This summer I will be teaching a couple of classes at Seven-Hills School -- Spectacle Puppetry and Woodworking.




"The visuals in "The Feast," which lasts just 80 minutes, are nothing short of incredible: Jesse Mooney Bullock's puppets are magnificently empathetic creations, much fuller than most puppets and so full of character, nuance and sadness that I constantly found myself staring into their eyes." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune



"...these remarkably rendered faces articulate the intensity of this tempest with incomparable artistry and emotional authenticity." - Venus Zarris, Chicago Stage Review


"And there is great humanity in the mask and bony arm representing Prospero’s beloved daughter, Miranda (whose eyes are so real they hint at the presence of a soul, with Taylor, an actor of quicksilver charm and immense grace, bringing her to poignant life)." - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times


"This show is eye candy!  The puppetry is so fascinating that I couldn’t stop gaping at it.  I kind of lost myself in the illusion of these face masks by designer Jesse Mooney-Bullock.  They looked magnificently real!  During the show, they are incorporated seamlessly into the story." - Katy Walsh, Chicago Now
