Tim Lagasse

Tim Lagasse is an award-winning puppeteer, puppet designer/fabricator, and film maker.
He earned his BFA from The University of Connecticut's Puppet Arts Program. Upon graduating, he became the first student to receive the Jim Henson Memorial Prize in Puppetry. His series A Show of Hands (which he wrote and puppeteered) won him a number of awards as well.
