Zan and Dan Raynor have been with Stevens Puppets since 1993. They both came to Stevens Puppets with
extensive theatre backgrounds both onstage and off. Their love of theatre began when they were in high school.
Zan in Elkhart, IN and Dan in San Jose, CA. They both have acted and directed professionally all over the
Country. Unbeknownst to them, they were developing creative and unique skills that would eventually
come full circle and help them while creating and performing marionette theatre. Zan does all the new carving
for Stevens Puppets, and restores the "Original Stevens marionettes", and Dan
does the performing. Some of the marionettes date back to 1949.

They have five wonderful children, Pais (age 20), Mak (age 18), Noli (age 16)
Caven (age 7), and our newest arrival Leilea (5). Our children are truly a very special gift from God.
Their angelic voices can be heard in Stevens Puppets production of . . .
"The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" and "The WIzard of Oz".
Pais is the voice of Fritz Van Tassel in Sleepy Hollow and Mak and Noli are the
school kids in the beginning of the story.

Pais can also be heard as the voice of Dorothy in
The Wizard of Oz.

After Zan finished her Masters degree from the University of Notre Dame ,
Zan continued her Doctoral studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington DC.

The Raynor's now reside in Bristol, IN.
They perform marionette plays ALL OVER THE WORLD! You can follow them on Facebook
