Chad Williams and Lindsay “Z” Briggs do what they love—putting on puppet shows all over New York City. They own their own company, Wonderspark Puppets, and perform original material on a stage that they designed themselves. The young couple met while doing their undergraduate degrees and reconnected again after Lindsay finished a Master’s in puppetry from the University of Connecticut. After she married Chad, they moved to New York and he switched careers—becoming a puppeteer as well. The couple has a toddler, Leif, and a baby on the way. Both kids will have roles in the show when they get older, making this a whole family of puppeteers.
