Colleen Lucey - I graduated from Barnard College in 2006 with a degree in Russian Studies. Currently I work as the international program coordinator for the Moscow Art Theatre School and oversee the different study abroad programs there. Besides studying Russian, I have also been involved in various puppet productions both in Siberia and New York. In the fall of 2007 I collaborated with director and designer Amy Trompetter on a puppet adaptation of Vaclav Havel's "The Beggar's Opera." This year I plan on directing small hand-puppet shows to be performed around Moscow.
