F R O M T H E A R T I S T I C D I R E C TO R A N D T H E E X E C U T I V E D I R E C TO R Welcome back to the Belfry—you, our beloved audience members— and Ronnie Burkett, national treasure and international sensation.

It’s close to 30 years since Ronnie has been on the Belfry stage— and let’s just say—he’s well worth waiting for—!

Thankfully, our friends and colleagues at Intrepid Theatre have hosted Ronnie a number of times over the years—and we thank them for partnering with us on this—his first extended run since 1997.

Ronnie not only writes his shows (though each performance of Little Dickens is largely improvised), he also designs and builds the marionettes, and designs the sets and costumes. He is recognized internationally as a Master of his craft. And while this particular show is an irreverent burlesque, he has written and performed many heartbreaking studies of human interaction—enacted by such exquisitely carved marionettes that you want to take them home and comfort them.

Please join us in welcoming back to the Belfry the exceptional— and exceptionally charming—Ronnie Burkett—!
