Welcome to the magical world of Stefano Brancato’s Artistry!
My work uses visual elements such as puppetry, masks and objects to bring stories to life.
I’m an experienced and passionate director, designer and puppet fabricator. My work has been seen on broadway, off broadway, at regional theaters and internationally. I’ve also made puppets for parades, cruises and zoos. I’ve worked at the Jim Henson Creature Shop, making puppets and props for SESAME STREET and other projects. I’ve been the recipient of many grants and scholarships to develop my original, full stage shows featuring puppets and actors.
