A reformed historian (she has a BA specializing in the European witch persecutions), Jill discovered the joys of mask-crafting and puppetry in 1992 and has never turned back. She has built puppets for Milwaukee Public Theatre, The Bristol Renaissance Faire, Von Orthal Puppets, and Sea Beast Puppet Company. She is a founder of Kenosha’s Puppet Underground and the sole proprietor of Little Puppet Company, which brings all ages shows and workshops to audiences from Milwaukee to Chicago. Her work for The Factory has ranged from a jaw-snapping T-Rex (‘Namosaur) to corrupted critters (Captain Steve’s Caring Kingdom) to a talking tree (The Adventures of Spirit Force Five). She is delighted to be an ensemble member with The Factory!
