Puppet Designer & Coach

Annette is beyond thrilled to have been part of the process of making this show a reality. As with so many of us, horses are near and dear to who and what she is. To have envisioned and created these amazing characters was decades in the planning and years in the making (and of course; months of building). It is spectacular for her to see all these dreams and ideas come together on stage and share it with you. Annett has been a professional puppet designer and builder for nearly twenty years and says this show is a highlight for her in many ways. She thanks all who support SCT to make shows like this possible. Special thanks to Bob Evans, David Baldwin and Kellie Dunn who believed in her; to Courtney and James who took a risk when they didn’t know her and without whom this show would not exist. “It has been a grand ride!”
