About the Artist

Midnight Radio Show is a multi-disciplinary collective based in Brooklyn. Using handmade shadow puppets, live performance, video content, and an actual radio show, they broadcast real magical love to children of all ages. MRS is headed up by Charlotte Lily Gaspard, the artistic director, singer, narrator, and a bona fide fairy princess. Resident composers Ezra Bloom, Sabrina Chap, Jessie Davis, and Doc Frost craft original scores and songs for the shadow puppet stories, live cabarets, and recordings.

Charlotte Lily Gaspard (Creator/Performer) has been described as “part celestial creature, part sophisticated human,” by Enchanted Living Magazine. Shadow puppet artist, storyteller, and a “multi-faceted enchantress... the fanciful mastermind behind Midnight Radio Show” (Broadway World), Charlotte’s mission is to activate imaginations and celebrate playfulness wherever she goes. Along with puppets, Charlotte also creates costumes for theater and film, and leads puppetry and theater workshops all over New York City, and beyond.
