Put on a mask and anything is possible.  Suddenly you can move, act, and think differently.  The mask embodies the potential for transformation of all kinds - emotional, spiritual, physical, and symbolic.  Behind the Mask is an award winning group that creates original masks and dazzling performances, and teaches others how to do the same!


"Magnificent... Eric Bornstein is a gifted Maskmaker."

Behind The Mask scours the modern & folk traditions of the world looking for tales that can be turned into lavish productions of storytelling, mask, song, dance, and puppetry.  If you have such a script or just a story idea to be fleshed out, we welcome you to bring it to us.  Take your program credit as Scriptwriter, Director, Producer, Costumer, or Inspiring Muse - if you have an idea for a show, let us know!
