About the Artist

Keith Shubert is a multiple award winning clown, puppeteer, toymaker, and event producer. Among his many awards are Fan Favorite and Best Performance at The National Puppetry Festival, Funding by The Jim Henson Foundation, and an UNIMA Citation for Excellence in The Art of Puppetry, the highest honor given in the field. Toybox's performance is an inexplicable blend of clowning, storytelling, stand up comedy and puppetry.
