I'm thrilled to announce that I've opened a second location in London, so I can continue my work in the U.K. and Europe. Don't worry, the U.S. location is still operating as usual.

NEW from Gabriel Design Theatricals, and featured in Helen Hayes award-winning Folger Theatre's production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Providing a solution to the age-old challenge of realistically staging fight scenes, we've designed a realistic retractable dagger, with versions that can remain "stuck" in the actor. Each dagger is uniquely designed painted and distressed.

Bring life to this endearingly obnoxious character with the help of Gabriel Design Theatricals.

A life-size puppet operated by the actor, Iago has fully-articulated wings, eyes and mouth, and can be “mounted” on the puppeteer’s (or Jafar’s) arm or “flown”. Constructed of durable resin and soft foam, Iago is comfortable to use and will stand up to the rigors of production.

AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL!
Discount rental pricing as low as $155

See Iago and much more on our website, and contact us for rental availability and pricing.

Back from her engagement in DreamCatcher Theatre's star-studded production of Into The Woods at Florida's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, Milky White performed alongside Broadway actors Arielle Jacobs, Tituss Burgess, and others.

With Gabriel Design Theatricals' specialization in creating naturalistic, life-like designs, Milky White brings an unmatched level of realism to her part in the production. An integral member of every cast of Into the Woods, she has an expression-filled face (with "tears"), a tilting head that lets Jack interact with her, highly textured skin, and realistic udders. Her inclusion in the cast adds something special and unique to each production.
