“…Professional actors, say that as a director, Puukka is tops.”
(Article by Olga Kharif.)
1. As a director
I want to make theatre that is palpable, daring, and fearless.
2. Because of that
I teach. I am curious about actors, and deeply invested in helping actors achieve the audacity, skills, and awareness to work with generous bravery, and shine.
3. I believe
Creativity suffers without trust. Trust is only possible in feelings of safety.
4. Because of that
I am radically committed to kindness as the bedrock of the working environment I set.
Be well,

TESTIMONIALS
“Jeffrey Puukka has directed a gripping must-see theatre event. His cast poured their hearts, minds and bodies into this show and I’ve never heard the beauty of Tennessee’s words, nor felt the power of his anti-misogyny and anti-violence message as strongly before. This show does not shy away from brutal truths. This show magnifies the voices of two powerful sisters who endure pain, hardship and injustice. The love they feel for each other and the joy they spark is infectious. They are trying to make sense of the world and thrive. Their stories are 100% relevant today.”
