Artistic Direction: Ronnie Burkett
Ronnie Burkett’s The Loony Bin is an intimate “adults only” salon-style handpuppet show featuring a crazy cast of characters in an improvised mash-up of scenes, songs and silliness. Set in a tattered puppet booth, the evening introduces us to leading lady Vealma Abattoir, once famous as the cow who jumped over the moon. She is joined by a company of faded players, her mysterious staff, and beloved characters from past Burkett shows including the wistful fairy Schnitzel, has-been actress Esmé Massengill, and beloved prairie matron Mrs. Edna Rural. The Loony Bin is Ronnie Burkett with "no strings attached". Ronnie Burkett - Photo credits Open to presenters of puppetry only Number of seats (per representation) : 5 Shuttle service NOT included Reservation ONLY through John Lambert text (514) 804 3295 or email at info@johnlambert.ca
