El Retablillo de Don Cristobal
The Puppet Play of Don Cristobal
Short Film, 40 Min.
Live Action & Animation
Our award-winning adaptation of the play El Retablillo de Don Cristóbal. Originally written for puppets by world-renowned playwright Federico Garcia Lorca, this play was adapted for actors by Ecuador’s most famous playwright José Martínez Queirolo.
A raunchy farce, chock-full of Lorca’s trademark feminist undertones, this story follows an impotent rich man in his acquisition of a beautiful and unfortunately insatiable bride. Through greedy mothers, horny priests, and more than one flying mule, this puppet play for grown-ups spells out a lesson that bears repeating in these crazy times: karma’s a b#$ch.

Ducky & Patsy's
Fairytales for Sophisticated Adults
Series
Drag Performance & Animation
Ducky and Patsy's Fairytales for Sophisticated Adults asks: What if Drag lived in a world all its own, governed by its own ungovernable wit and gumption? With each episode, two old and decrepit queens warm their feeble bones by the fireside, “in what looks like a knockoff Viagra commercial,” open a book of tales from their checkered past, and invite the audience to take a look inside.
Drenched in campy antics, Ducky and Patsy's Fairytales for Sophisticated Adults is a delightful absurdist ride for those who enjoy a big, long…laugh and a cheeky middle finger to those pushing for artist censorship.

Series Pilot
Puppetry & Animation
Famous Lake Park, like most things named famous, is not. The rides are outdated and dilapidated, the eccentric owner values amusement more than human life, and the riffraff staff has a debilitating morale problem. Oh yes, and the Lake is drying up due to global warming.
In an ode to American debauchery, Famous Lake Park is a jolly jaunt through the agonizing death of the American Dream.
Written by Susannah Dalton and Braden Greenawalt
Directed by José Ignacio Vivero and Susan Lambert
The production of Famous Lake Park is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
