Every once in a while we like to let our patrons know what else is playing in the area that they might enjoy. Last season at Blyth, Ronnie Burkett's Edna Rural's Church Supper sold out. Ronnie is now bringing his artistry to The Grand Theatre's intimate McManus Studio.
The Daisy Theatre is master puppeteer Ronnie Burkett unleashed... unscripted by the seat of his pants, manipulating and voicing a cast of forty marionette characters. From its premiere at the 2013 Luminato Festival and special engagement at New York's Baryshnikov Arts Centre, this unique performance event has played to thousands, with critics and audiences alike falling in love with this bawdy, tender, and outrageous cast of characters. With the ever-changing content and nightly improv in an intimate setting, The Daisy Theatre is truly a "see it more than once" theatrical experience. Ages 16+.
"One of the geniuses of the world." - The Village Voice, New York
"...these puppets are not for kids. This is sophisticated adult material. And it's some of the funniest, most brilliant theatre you'll ever be lucky enough to see."
- Jerry Wasserman, The Province
"Funny, touching, and pure genius." - Edmonton Sun
"One of the more excellent shows you'll see this season... maybe ever."
- Calgary Herald
