From the venue:
Imhotep is an Atlanta storyteller who brings his stories to life with puppets, props, voices and theatrics. He began his artistic career in 1977 as an actor with the Proposition Theatre Co. In 1979, he was introduced to puppetry at the Center for Puppetry Arts. After a six-year residence at the center, he launched his solo career, traveling around the city with his colorfully draped suitcases filled with magic, wonder and excitement. Imhotep has been affiliated with the Wren’s Nest since 1985 and served as the storyteller-in-residence from 1985 to 1999.
