For more than 20 years, Dave Goboff has carried his puppetry from New York to Weston, Florida, and now to Gainesville.
Through his company Simply Puppets, he creates shows and crafting workshops for audiences of all ages. Goboff studied fine arts at Adelphi University and worked a wide range of hands-on jobs before finding his stride in puppetry, where performance and craftsmanship meet.
What began as family shows has grown into a practice centered on creativity, connection and the joy of bringing people together through handmade characters.
