The Nutcracker
Midwest Ballet Co., 2006
These masks are made from durable neoprene latex and fitted with the dial-adjustable head fitting from Bullard construction helmets. This ensures very comfortable and secure mask for any size actor to dance with. The rat heads have realistic spherical clear eyes, which also allow the dancer a very large field of view.
“We have used your Nutcracker mask for the second year now and it is perfect! Your creativity is amazing.” Michelle Bartolomei, director Music and Mirror Ballet Center West.

The
BFG
Oklahoma Baptist University, 2006
Children’s Theatre of Western Springs production, 2004
These masks were commissioned by the Theatre of Western Springs for the production of The BFG by Roald Dahl (March 2004). They are oversized yet very lightweight, and they are available to purchase or rent by special order. They can be fitted to the wearer in a variety of styles. In this production the director requested that the masks allow the actors’ faces to be fully seen. So they were mounted to modified bicycle helmets and worn on top of the head.
