Transforming video games into live shows and learning tools.
Eddie Kim founded EK Theater to pioneer digital stagecraft in 2007. I use Video Game Puppetry to turn sandbox worlds into stages for storytelling and discovery. From Off-Broadway to classrooms, I help students build, perform, and solve problems with the tools they already own.
About Our Shows
Since 2007, I have staged live performances in digital worlds using Video Game Puppetry. These productions blend classic stories with modern game engines to redefine storytelling.
