  • My Name Is Mary Hildebrand Nagler, and I Am a Professional Puppeteer
    My name is Mary Hildebrand Nagler, and I am a professional Puppeteer. I made my first puppet at 10 years old in girls Scouts and have had a life long interest in the art form. I used to hurry home from High School to watch Sesame street, and longed to work for that innovative company someday. In College at Santa Clara University, as a theater major. I was a frustrated actor. I was too often relegated to back stage because I could make things, so when the opportunity came up to do a Punch and Judy show for the school Renaissance fair I volunteered! It was great performing live and puppetry encompassed all I loved about theater. I finally got to act, in fact I got to play all the characters, make the scenery and props , all the costumes and even write the plays! I had found my calling. For years I worked performing a repertoire of 9 shows geared for a young audience, including some classic tales with a twist: Red Riding Hood, which taught the wolf to use his manners and say please, Harlequin and the Gift of many Colors, about the power of friendship to cross social boundaries and The Reluctant Dragon, a great story about the dangers of prejudice. I left Santa Clara University after two years when I was accepted in to Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus Clown School. I graduated with a degree in Buffoonery and landed a one year contract to travel with the Greatest Show on Earth. Several of my parts in the show involved puppets there too! After my year with the circus I got married had two sons, got divorced and went back to school! I have a Bachelor of fine arts degree from Sonoma State University, in sculpture and painting.

  • What Is the Next Step in the Development of Animatronic Design in the Entertainment Industry?
    WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANIMATRONIC DESIGN IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY? MICHAEL LLOYD Extended Project Qualification Question 2017-2018 INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS DEFINING THE AUDIO ANIMATRONIC, STATING IT’S PURPOSE AND IT’S ROLE IN THE WORLD The key feature of an animatronic which sets it aside from what we consider ‘robotic’ technology is the effect it has on people and how they are viewed in our society. I have chosen two robots, one fictional and one operating in the real world in order to address the issue of defining an animatronic Figure. 1 KUKA 6 axis CNC robotic arm used in industrial Figure.2 R2-D2, a fictional Astromec Service processes such as milling, assembly and manufacture. droid appearing in the Star Wars films. Image credit: KUKA Aktiengesellschaft Image credit: Sideshow Collectibles.com Case Studies a and b: KUKA industrial robot and R2 -D2 On the surface, these ‘robots’ both serve similar goals. KUKA produces UK based industrial manufacture robotics which serve a number of different industries in order to complete given tasks and processes with a higher level of accuracy and speed to a human being Fig 1. Within the Star Wars canon, R2-D2 Fig 2 serves a similar purpose yet his design and personality is far removed from the sleek efficiency of service ‘droids’ in our reality The reason which sets the robots of Star Wars far apart our own is the simple fact that, in a fictional setting, characters are designed to entertain audiences and explore new worlds. The priority to bring personality to a robot far outshines the need for R2-D2 to be entirely functional and efficient.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 30, 2019 WILLKOMMEN! ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS MUSICAL THEATRE MASTERPIECE “CABARET” Arizona Theatre Company (Sean Daniels, Artistic Director; Billy Russo, Managing Director) will bring the timeless “masterpiece of musical theatre” (Chicago Tribune), Cabaret and its powerful political wallop to the Temple of Music & Art from Nov. 30-Dec. 29 and the Herberger Theater Center from Jan. 4-26. Directed by Sara Bruner, Cabaret, which first opened on Broadway on Nov. 20, 1966 and ran for 1,165 performances, follows American author Cliff Bradshaw (Brandon Espinoza) and his encounter with cabaret performer Sally Bowles (Madison Micucci) at the seedy Kit Kat Klub where she sings. When she is fired by the club’s owner, Max (David Kelly), also her jealous boyfriend, she moves in with Cliff and the two fall in love. As the Nazis begin taking control of the German government, the atmosphere at the Kit Kat Klub and the lives of Cliff and Sally begin to change. For all the exuberant song and dance, the most powerful aspect of Cabaret remains the political wallop it delivers. At its core, Cabaret is a devastating critique of apathy and a clever and terrifying look at totalitarianism. Packed with memorable songs from “Willkommen,” “Perfectly Marvelous,” “I Don’t Care Much,” and, of course, “Cabaret,” Cabaret is a story that remains remarkably timely, particularly in today’s political environment. "Cabaret is undoubtedly one of the greatest musicals ever - and only Arizona Theatre Company, with a full live orchestra on stage - is able to bring the best in our country to work with the best here to create such a piece,” said Arizona Theatre Company Artistic Director Sean Daniels.
