Paul Spirito– (Puppet Arts Technical Supervisor) Paul Spirito received a B.S. in Industrial Design in 1992. After working in the toy industry for 10 years he decided it was time for a change. Wanting to explore figurative and kinetic art, he was accepted into the Puppetry Arts Program at the University of Connecticut where he found himself pursuing an MFA degree. Puppetry was a way to combine the mechanical and spatial sense of product design with the figurative art he had been looking to for. The surprise for him was that puppetry is more than moving sculpture, it is performance. The dramatic art education he has received has been an invaluable part of his experience.
While at UCONN he has performed in many Puppetry Slams and helped to build puppets for many Connecticut Reparatory Theater Productions, including: Peter Pan, Into the Woods, Jonah’s Dream, Balloon, and It Can’t Happen Here.
Now working for CRT/Dramatic/Puppet Arts Program as a Technical Supervisor…

Paul Spirito is a founding member of Bated Breath Theatre Company.
