Today we honor and celebrate the birth of the late Tracey Conner, the Founder and Executive Director of MicheLee Puppets. MicheLee’s mission was to empower lives through the art of puppetry. We have embraced this mission by integrating the magical art of puppetry into our programming on our stages and in our classrooms. As we reflect on Tracey’s vision for a world enhanced by puppetry, we feel a renewed excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead.
