“Matchbook Miracles was a clever, intimate, and strangely profound evening—a small world of wonder that seemed to hold an entire universe. It is proof that ambitious artistry can create a deeply personal experience that lingers in the imagination long after the final curtain.”
—Kristy Coultier
“Frank continues to reinvent the art of puppetry through enchanting productions like Matchbook Miracles, while investing deeply in the next generation of artists. By welcoming emerging talent into professional productions, he provides the rigorous training, generous mentorship, and paid experience essential to building sustainable artistic careers. Having followed his work for three decades, I believe his influence can be felt throughout Chicago’s cultural community—in its artists, its audiences, and the extraordinary work he has inspired.”
—Miriam Socoloff
“An oddly holy and utterly unforgettable evening: eating popcorn in a cemetery beneath the stars, discovering devilishly tiny puppet shows and mammoth theatrical worlds emerging from ordinary matchbooks, and being carried away by haunting live music. Matchbook Miracles transformed the smallest objects into portals of wonder.”
—Patricia Diaz Negrete
