Don’t bring the kiddies to puppeteer Ronnie Burkett’s rather ribald, thoroughly entertaining Daisy Theatre. Burkett, who hails from Alberta, Canada, became interested in puppets as a child, when he picked up Volume P of the World Book and it fell open at “puppets.” Burkett is a one-man show, improvising on the spot. His marionettes—a rotating cast of 40 characters—include ventriloquist Meyer Lemon, actress Lillian Lunkhead, and Edna Rural. Advisory: chance of puppet nudity.

I first saw Ronnie’s work performed as part of the Henson Puppetry Festival in New York City. His use of marionettes was unlike anything I had seen before, a village of extreme personalities brought to life through Ronnie’s quick and witty dialogue. The Daisy Theatre gives you a chance to see Ronnie at his improvisational best, as each night a new cast of characters takes to the small stage.
