David Michael Friend website
bio:
David is able to translate his peripheral and whimsical thoughts through a multitude of mediums, freelancing on jobs for such companies as Sesame Workshop, Saturday Night Live, Marvel Comic, Comedy Central, Noggin, Hallmark, and Nickelodeon. Helping to create Drama of Works in 1997, David takes pleasure in the designing, building and performing of their productions, giving life to Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit, L. Frank Baum's Toto and a legion of demons and sins for Marlowe's classic tale of Doctor Faustus. He has developed an unrefined mechanical sense that goes into all of his creations, erecting characters that need no puppeteer to breath. In addition, David has portrayed King Henry in "Henry IV, Part I", the madman in "Duchess of Malfi" and can also be seen in the productions of Muddy Feet Puppet Theater, the children based sister troupe of Drama of Works. He recently was accepted into the Society of Illustrators' first annual Three Dimensional Salon for his puppet creation, Doctor Harlow. past: performer The Ballad of Phineas P.
