In An Excruciatingly Ordinary Toy Theater Show, toy theater puppets explode onto the stage in a darkly funny live-action comic book where cameras zip through tiny illustrated worlds made visible through real-time projection. A lonely puppeteer stalks the child of two notorious celebrities; a three-foot ghost plagues an eight-year-old boy's fragile psyche; and an opera-singing landlord refuses to return a security deposit. The show is supported in part by The Jim Henson Foundation. Recently, the show received Most Outstanding Puppet Show at the San Diego Fringe Festival.Mr. Dorn is one of three initial recipients of the Julie Taymor World Theater Fellowship, a $30,000 one year offering, endowed by the famous theater / film director and designer. He will spend it in Japan, studying ritual robotic puppetry in Western Honshu and working with contemporary theater directors in Osaka and Tokyo. For more about Zach, visit www.zachdorn.com.
