About the Artist
CactusHead Puppets are known for their playful performance style and exuberant creativity. The West Springfield-based company was started in 2010 by married couple John and Megan Regan. Since then they have toured throughout the Northeast with their original family-friendly shows, several of which are based on favorite and familiar folktales.
Megan is originally from the Kansas City area, where she worked with Paul Mesner Puppets, now known as What is Puppets. John is from Western Massachusetts, and is honored to be performing at the same venues where he saw puppet shows growing up. Megan collects pop-up books, and John has a love for giant monster movies. Both Megan and John are graduates of the University of Connecticut's Puppet Arts program, and were interns at Puppet Showplace Theater way back — they are excited to return to Boston to share their work as professional puppeteers!
