William Chaplin Stephens

William is an actor from Nottingham and a graduate of Rose Bruford College Wigan. Only after graduating did he find his love for puppeteering. He has been trained in animal movement and professionally working as a puppeteer for over 3 years. 

William is really excited to take on this role as Puppet Tech for the tour, he has always been interested in the practical aspect of how things work. His father had him working in the garage from a young age, so he's no stranger to getting his hands dirty. 

A fun fact about William is that before deciding that his heart belonged to theatre, he was planning on becoming a paleontologist! This job perfectly ties his two loves together.
