Jason Kramer, Founder and Creative Director of Gabriel Design Theatricals, has worked in theater

OUR MISSION:

To create a sense of wonder and delight with

realistic creature puppets that engage and connect

with the viewer in a meaningful, naturalistic way.

​

Jason and his team have extensive experience in puppet design, engineering, and fabrication,

and have created everything from delicate animatronic creatures, to life-size rod puppets,

to large multi-puppeteer characters, and have even created an underwater

fantasy-creature suit worn by a performing SCUBA diver.

 

With a steadfast commitment to environmental conservation, each piece is fabricated

and shipped as conscientiously as possible, using carbon-neutral shipping on more

than 95% of our shipments. In addition, we proudly donate a portion of

proceeds to global environmental and humanitarian causes.
