I don’t usually write posts about live/local puppetry here, but the next month or so is such great time to see some great puppetry in Toronto that I couldn’t resist. Not only is Ronnie Burkett (who chats about his new show in the video above) debuting Penny Plain at Toronto’s Factory Theatre, but an original production of Avenue Q just opened, the Famous PEOPLE Players are prepping a new show called Funkytown for a run at their dinner theatre in the city’s West End and the Toronto production of WarHorse begins an extended run on February 10th.

Come visit Toronto, we’d love to have you!
