Sugarloaf Stagecoach Puppet Shows

Coming summer 2027

I am building a traveling puppet stagecoach from a horse trailer, so that stories can come with me on the road. The shows will hopefully begin next summer, in 2027.

Story has always been close to my heart — in the books, and in the Harp-Woven Journeys I tell with the harp, meant to bring peace and adventure. Sugarloaf Stagecoach is one more way I hope to share that love of story, warmly and in person.

As the stagecoach takes shape, here are photographs from the work.

A smiling woman in a tan cardigan, dark shirt, blue pants, and green boots stands beside a gray two-axle horse trailer on a concrete driveway, giving a thumbs-up. A log building and an open garage are in the background.

Inside the trailer, looking down a narrow aisle with a black rubber floor, a cream-colored side wall, a gray metal stall divider, and a dark ceiling with peeling paint. Small windows let in daylight.

The rear of the gray horse trailer, with two gray metal doors, red-and-white reflective tape, and round red lights. The dark interior ceiling shows peeling paint. Pine trees stand behind the trailer.

A smiling woman with long gray hair sits outdoors among animal puppets arranged on two tree stumps, including a gray donkey, a red parrot, a long-necked gray bird, a tan chicken, a small camel, a green-and-blue parrot, and a small furry animal with a long tail.

A hand touches the chin of a pale, horse-like skeleton standing indoors in a room with log walls, bookshelves, and a wooden chair.

The rounded front of the trailer sits in a garage, with gray and white body filler and primer, open window holes, and workbenches, tools, and a sheet of plywood around it.

A smiling woman wearing sunglasses and a white cardigan stands in the side opening of the trailer with her arms raised. The trailer is painted red with a yellow fender over dual wheels, inside a garage lined with shelves.
