Obie award-winning puppeteer Ronnie Burkett returns to CAP UCLA with Wonderful Joe, a new story about a man, his dog and the lost souls they heal along their journey.Featuring an original score by John Alcorn, Wonderful Joe finds Joe and his dog Mister in the aftermath of losing their home. Facing separation, they set out on one last adventure. Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of filling broken pottery with gold, Wonderful Joe is a hopeful tale that finds an inherent goodness in people, even in an often harsh world.
Burkett’s near forty-year career in puppetry has spawned dozens of productions (including two previous productions with CAP UCLA: Penny Plain and The Daisy Theatre) featuring some of the world’s most ornate puppets. Known for solo performances in which he embodies every character, Burkett’s talents earned him an induction into the Order of Canada and a reputation as one of Canada’s foremost theater artists.
