Who are we?

The roots of Red Smarteez Marionettes lie with Brenda Whiteman's earliest work in the visual arts. Brenda built her first marionette as a painting student at the Alberta College of Art as part of an experiment in interactive figurative art.

Peter Stinson, a painter, writer and performer, became more involved in 1998 which led to the first full theatrical show.
