The Guild Makers


Claire M. Kavanah
Claire is a prop master and general run-around props person based in Brooklyn. She came to props sideways, through luck and a series of good mistakes. Her favorite section of prop storage is paper ephemera. Her favorite shows to prop have lots of tiny things in them. 
Rachel M F Kenner
Rachel Kenner works as a freelance prop artisan and master around New York, most recently seen at Merrily We Roll Along and Manahatta. Her skills cover a bit of everything, including making friends (see photo).
Alexander Wylie
Alex is a freelance prop master and artisan based in Manhattan. He loves making spreadsheets, turning wooden bowls, and saying “y’all” in professional emails. The first prop he remembers making is the Necronomicon from “Evil Dead: The Musical”, and it’s haunted him ever since.
